I confirm!


Yesterday 24/08/2011 had a meeting in Rio de Janeiro Agusta, attended by operators in Brazil AW.

They are implying that the most likely cause of the accident was SEK even breaking blades TR.

So tomorrow will be issued a BT with more instructions to be followed by radical Mnt, even without the issuance of the accident report.

The Pilot Test Agusta emphasized that this type of emergency response should be taken immediately. Otherwise, the panic will not be identified correctly, you can lose control of the ANV due to the strong imbalance.

As for AW of China, then was recovered, but the government did not allow any information to be disclosed, since this was an operational failure. The pilot flew into the water during a rescue training. I saw the photo of the ANV being hoisted. Only the cockpit was damaged. The rest, including the TR, was intact.

And this is the response of Agusta:
