I have downloaded and read the report thoroughly. That is why I am of the opinion that cockpit ergonomics and psychological factors led to a situation where a minor mistake in operating two switches cascaded into an in flight emergency culminating in the needless loss of a serviceable aircraft and many lives. We have a pretty good idea of how the helicopter crashed. The question remains as to why it crashed given that it was a modern design with multiple redundant systems. If there are no major mechanical faults that affected the airworthiness of the aircraft, then it ultimately comes down to human factors.
