Agusta Blades: Just so there's no doubts left folks, Agusta use different blades on the 109 series. The A109A/AII use the 109 series blade that are of metal construction. The 109C series onwards (C, E, K, K2, S etc & the 119) all use the 709 series blades that are of composite construction (including the spar) but of course have the metal leading edge strip bonded on to fight against erosion. I doubt that debonding of one of these blades was the cause of this incident but I'll stand corrected.
Safe flying
