Just can't stay quiet any longer............

Surely after 8 weeks there would be something concrete regarding the cause of this sad event...........?

Whilst it does not surprise me..........considering that Eurocopter make both the airframe and engine.........that things would grind to a halt...........

It will take another 12 months yet............if ever........there will be no "announcement"......just a silent fix to pacify all concerned.


Whilst we wait for the Lawyers and PR folk to strut their puffed chests.....

Was this aircraft fitted with.......

EXIS lighting...
Pop Out Windows....
Were the Crew HUET Trained.....
Were the Pax HUET Trained......
Emergency Float Equipped.....
Was there any language difficultly between the crew........
Was there Human Factors [The old CRM] training provided to all concerned.........
Did the crew hit anything.........
Why couldnt a lightly laden aircraft survive any "potential" engine failure [suggested...not proven as an OEI yet]

I would think that folk up in Europe are very worried about the events...........
