It is a modern mistake to misunderstand what a coroner's court is for, largely perpetrated by the media.
I fully understand what a coroner's court does.
I was, however, surprised that the coroner made such a statement about "the" engine for the media to report, prior to the release of the AAIB report.
Obviously, the A109 helicopter has
two engines and is capable of flying on one. A "straightforward" single engine failure does not fit in with the circumstances of this accident.
Hopefully the AAIB report will shed some light on this tragedy.
