First off, I'm just relaying what Leonardo is telling the operators when they ask about this SB. That the AAIB have not (as yet) given them any info about possible or probable causes of this accident.
Sycamore, the TR is duplex hydraulic. It is controlled with a single push-pull cable. Unlike previous Leo machines that have relied on control tubes. Hydraulics cannot be selected off as the aircraft cannot be flown without hydraulics.
I know as much as any 169 operator who asks the right questions
