Una pregunta concreta: ¿Qué inspecciones y de qué tipo se le realizaron a Heliand?

Rough translation of the article:

Helicopter owned by CAT helicopters, operated by Heliand.
Six people on board -> all seats occupied.
Plus a sling attached, but if I understand it correctly, they forgot to attach the cargo net to the sling. The unloaded sling then went into the tail rotor...

I think there is an undertone in this article that the helicopter actually had lifted some kind of cargo, but it was brought back to base after the crash, pretending it had never been lifted. Could be my lausy Spanish as well...

6 People, fuel (god knows how much), external load. It was a B3 after all, but to me it looks a bit too ambitious.
