Was the accident caused by mechanical failure or the pilots inability to cope with or action training to cope with the mechanical failure? I have no idea the recurrent training that UK licences go through but as a long retired FAA ATPL holder the failure of the tail rotor assembly, or all manner of associated failures was beaten to death in annual proficiency checks in North America. I'm at a loss as to why so many posters on here say in the UK you never train for this, I'd like to hear why.
