Winnie firstly thanks for translating and posting the relevant bits for us non Norwegian speakers, and thanks Jim for translating the whole thing

secondly as I stated earlier with No 1 engine in accessory drive the flying control hydraulics are powered so the statement It ALSO stated in the checklist to NOT ATTEMPT to lower the collective until hydraulic pressure was coming up, preceded with a CAUTION isnt relevant to this case.

thirdly are you absolutely sure that full and free checks come AFTER the AFCS checks, the report states that they are done after No1 engine starting (to confirm that there are no control restrictions?) before the AFCS check is requested and then the rotor started. As this was skipped then another swiss cheese hole was lined up

However, the report does seem to highlight that the training received wasn't all it ought to have been.
