Earlier I was going to leap to the defence of the AS350 for being a 'poor design'. Then I read the G-OROZ report that 500e mentioned and now I won't get into one, front or back, unless I know at least that the seat SB has been complied with. Having said that the cabin was tough and the MRGB and blades somehow managed to remain attached which is more than can be said for the early exit of the tailcone.
