A very thorough and most proficient report. All thanks to the AAIB for their professionalism - so that others may learn.
However, I would suggest this is as close as they are permitted to come (formally and publicly) to condemn the handling characteristics of the R22/44 class of helicopter, I would suggest.
These helicopters have been the subject of considerable adverse debate for a long time, now. When will someone somewhere take charge of the issue and do something about it?
If I was a prospective buyer, reports like this would be enough to put me off a particular product for ever!
Trouble is the education process is hit and miss. Some see the cheaper helicopter as the way to go, others do their research properly and wisen up!
RIP: big guy.
