Few questions for those in the know.

Q - Are the GFS Super Pumas fitted out with a lot of kit, hence making OEI a moot issue.

Q - Was it a really hot day when they were fighting the fire and was it up high.

Q - If they lost an engine wouldnt there have been enough power to at least get to the edge of the dam they were working out of.

Maybe someone with knowledge of the Super Puma MKII could answer some of these. And no they arent for any specific purpose, just curious whether there were other issues besides the engine failure.

Cheers.
