I have read the report, SAS, and it did nothing of the sort. You ought to shut yer...how do they say it in your country?...gob.

1. Trans ran dry.
2. Pilots believed that they had "30-minute run-dry" capability as per FAR Part 29.
3. Sikorsky knew it would only last 9 minutes (or so) with no oil at all.
4. Transmission (tail rotor drive) came apart 9 minutes into emergency.
5. Pilots screwed up emergency landing.
6. Everybody died except one pax.

Perhaps you'd like to counter my post with some, you know, FACTS? That is, if it wouldn't trouble you too much. I know that you mostly like to just post innuendo, half-baked opinions and fond remembrances of back when you used to be a pilot some time ago (as opposed to us who still are active pilots), but you're not THAT out of it, are you?

Happy Xmas.
