Terrifying reading

A catalogue of many things wrong with the regulatory induced, redundancy, 'zero risk', accountability, approach.

These guys were nearly elf-n-safetied to death ... (which is a very real possibility, like Glasgow, the thread for which is a standing demonstration that even after a year of masterclasses into to subtleties of the EC135 fuel system 86.7% of people still don't understand it)

Only a bit of (very stressful) classically cool analatical thinking averted a disasster. One has to presume the pilots were Norweigan (with Norweigan training, less tick box bull**** there)


Classic from SASless:
"When one compares the 92 and 225 events it makes one wonder if the aircraft have gotten too complex and perhaps a step back in automation might be considered." - really
