That's great, but what about the 11 times it wasn't done in the previous 13 starts? Your photos do nothing to dim my comments on this. I'd like to see the FDR data that was captured on those hydraulic checks...half the crews I've seen in the sim don't do the check properly. If that is typical across the wider S76 pilot cadre then there is an issue with training, and with CRM. One pilot can't be watching the other do the check incorrectly and say nothing. Or not do a mandatory check at all and the other says nothing. They might as well not be there. Might as well not do the check either if you're not going to do it properly, because doing incorrectly does not reveal the malfunction your checking for.
