I think I posted that sheet "tech info 7" some pages ago but had the same response, not in the RFM, but people had that thought in their minds, & when it is put it in the sea, or fly it I don't know what I would do, I know what pilots were told to do but!! (FAR29 said?) & it is a big but, how many will die of hypothermia? (remember the suits also came in for criticism)
Read report there appear to be faults all round, FAA, should have been more proactive, Sikorsky should have fronted up & said in plain speak it wont run for 30 min as stated in TI 7, & pilot CRM lacking.
A really sad outcome for all, especially the families
