tecumseh,thank you for your post.
Humans will make errors and faults and we must do everything to avoid that those mistakes cost lives.
here we have 25 VIP`s in relation to the national safefy of GB and a pilot with a lot of experience and renomme an it was his opinium that this heli was not airworthy.
So who was responsable to deny the pilots another heli even in light of the importance of the passenger on board.
Whar arguments had had been there to deny this request ?
IMOP this is the root cause of this accident throwing the well founded opinium of the pilots in the bin.
