Mitcha,
thank you for the chronological correction. Still I think the point is valid, 3 x CFITs in 3 very different and disperse in capability helicopters in the UK sector.
I think this strongly implores us to look inward at our training, procedures, attitudes and culture. No stone left unturned.
A good start would be an emphasis on the appropriate use of automation and its associated procedures. Above all, 3 axis approaches in minimum weather in a 4 axis capable machine we should endeavour to rule out by OM prohibition.
