true professionalism and training will always provide the outcomes we all require.
There is a fulsome discussion right there. I understand at the time of the incident the copilot was the flying pilot, and was himself a rated captain.

The sim training at Esso was every two years for rated captains, but zero for copilots. Good idea?

The check and training people excelled at what they did by way of simulating a failed engine at CDP on a rig take off. Set power on one engine where by you were light on the wheels, and at a 125 foot hover pull the good engine as you rotated, so you were left with partial power you had previously set on the remaining engine to fly away. Great fun, but risky?
