Ppruners are usually very ready to castigate the general media and their commentators for misleading and inaccurate reporting, but what about the professional media:

Glasgow helicopter crash not due to engine failure, AAIB reveals - News - Shephard

“Glasgow helicopter crash not due to engine failure, AAIB reveals”

The AAIB reveals no such thing. It says there was “... no evidence of major mechanical disruption to either engine...”. That explicitly does not rule out engine failure, say by flame-out for a fuel-supply or FADEC reason, I think the most common causes for engine failures.

Can we please now have some of the bile usually reserved for the BBC and the daily papers?
