Sadly, it seems that the Brazilian helicopter operators lose more than their fair share of aircraft.
Lots of the guys working there don't even have a basic knowledge of english, so one can only wonder how Flight Manuals/Maintenance Manuals are referenced. I have heard accounts of maintenance being done with the IPC as the only reference and things like torque values being ignored.
If this is indeed the case, then it's small wonder that there are not more such occurences than what they already have.
And this for a country that actually MANUFACTURES aircraft.
