reading this thread got me reading an AAIB report on a ditching in 1995
Aerospatiale AS332L Super Puma, G-TIGK and I just want to check something..
from the report:
The helicopter sank to the sealed and was damaged beyond economic repair
and
Since the helicopter then broke away from the Highland Pride and sank to the sealed it would, in retrospect, have been better if the helicopter had remained freely floating until it could have been recovered later in less difficult circumstances, or from the sealed if it had ultimately sunk.
I can only assume "sealed" is meant to be "seabed"
