Where is helicomparitor when we need him?
Very interesting! This is a BRISTOW Super Puma that ditched with a load of pax, perhaps allowing them to use the large, handy escape windows. Pity that helicomparitor did not help us understand this one, unlike his extremely helpful discussions when other brand helicopters have cockpit lights come on, and he wonders out loud if that should affect their engine failure probabilities.
What say you, hc, should this engine problem, followed by flight control problem be counted in some way?
Seriously, it is good that all made it out ok.
