willy waving....."stop"

The AAIB have stated that this accident was of a non-technical nature. What exactly is their definition of non-technical? Unless you know (different from think or have a theory) don’t answer that.

The cause of this accident is still undetermined. Assumptions are being made as to the serviceability of the aircraft in question. However my aircraft is deemed serviceable with elements of systems unserviceable; including AFCS functions. Which in turn will dictate the method of autopilot utilisation. As an example……collective trim u/s.

In the spirit of speculation this accident (my theory) isn’t because of a lack of handling skills. Possibly compounded by method of autopilot function, but more likely due to a failure to detect the aircrafts departure from the desired element of the flight envelope early, and that’s the last time I’m gonna bother saying so.
