Cut the crap lads. SFIM hit the nail on the head...it's all about stabilised or unstabilised platforms.
The guy took off in a Jet Box (probably unstabilised). He took off in fog FFS! He turned left abruptly....Smacks of a UP to me. The end.
The brits did away with the last of our SE helos many years ago which was a Jet box with AP.
The brits (CAA) did away with SE helos for CAT @ night for a number of reasons, not only stab/unstab or SE Vs ME.
They looked at the stats over the years and came to the conclusion that fee paying pax deserved more of a safety margin than an unstabilised SE helo at night.
Argue all you like about Robbo's Vs Twinstar's. Stab Vs unstab, VFR Vs IFR, night Vs day. The ONLY place for an unstabilsed SE helo in this (safety conscious) day and age is day VFR, COCISS.
