Hi!
Do we have any further information related to the inflight inflation of the flotation system on a 139 on the North Sea?
I have tried to find some additional news on the web with no success.
The Operator I am flying with have the NTO from Agusta allowing the possibility of not having the floats armed while off-shore in some specific conditions and I am quite interested in learning a bit more about what happened with that "inccident"
Was the helicopter really flying with Floats NOT ARMED? Are they operating under that NTO from Agusta?
Do they have a clue why the system triggered the floats?
At what speed where they flying when this happened?
How bad was to regain control of the aircraft?
Did they made a dictching or they continue to destination or to an alternate?
I have not been able to find any information about this event in the AAIB website neither.
Can someone bring some light into this? Would be most welcomed
