I am in flying in West Africa and this tragic event has send shock waves around the world - I am still in disbelief that this has actually happened! I flew the S70 Black Hawk and we have never had any MGB issues.
Now I am flying the S92 and there have been multiple incidents with various MGB emergencies/incidents - time to go back to the drawing boards and implement a similar system like the EC225 to provide some dry run capability!
My prayers and thoughts to all the family, friends and staff at Cougar/VIH and the St Johns offshore Industry - know so many of the pilots there!
