Longford, Australia, S76 Engine Failure at CDP

[HeliTester]

Australia is going to introduce PC1 and PC2 relations into RMS shortly and such incidents are very topical here.

I think what the Europeans have done to establish minimum engine reliability standards for certain PC2 operations (not more than one in-flight engine shut-down per 100,000 flight hours in the most recent 5-year period) is relevant. While Allison C30 and Turbomeca Arriel engines both had reliability issues in the past, I think they currently meet the European standard.
