Outwest, Sultan,

besides confirming that Weststar accident has been caused by an hard landing as consequence of a take off with a helo weight > MTOW,

the failure mode of AW139 blades are well known so far -

what we are unable to check right now if this failure mode is a consequence of a previous event - high vibrations due to an impact? Hydraulic failure? etc.

CVDR will support the root cause investigation.
