It does seem that ditching a helicopter is the ultimate sin .....
2 controlled ditchings in an EC225 and the entire fleet is grounded
6 (at least) 'Land Immediately's' in an S92 and the fact that 5 out of the six made it to a ship / jungle clearing / airfield / deserted oil platform, and there is no problem at all???
It seems the HD Colour footage of EC225's floating quite successfully on the water makes for better press coverage that a helicopter sitting on an oil platform it wasn't intending to be on.
I wonder how the oil workers would feel if we demanded what Safety Valves they should be using offshore?
