Lack of Captaincy and information
Aknowledging the lack of Captaincy, maybe this information could be useful to 'today' crews:
"Additionally, the helicopter manufacturer reviewed their archive of flight data records to determine whether it is an unusual event for a pilot to use full pedal travel in flight. The analysis showed that the use of full pedal was very rare but had occurred in each of the previous events of TRPCS bearing failure(see paragraph 1.18.2). Conclusions from the review were that this cue is available to flight crew prior to bearing failure, but is indicative of a bearing that is already in an advanced state of degradation. Thus, the use of full pedal travel could indicate a need for prompt action to abort a flight and the helicopter manufacturer is considering whether changes to the RFM could be introduced." (Accident Report, pg.52)
