So an interim report by the Nigerian authority suggests the ditching was in response to problems with the AFCS. The commander decided to ditch rather than risk losing control of the aircraft presumably.


What was the full nature of the problem? Not known or public knowledge


Could a better decision been made; problem otherwise managed? Not enough information. But the situation was managed and nobody died.


So unless the report is a wack of lies, it would appear that a goodly number of malicious, racist, sexist and unprofessional posts here were wrong. Do you ask yourselves how this reflects upon all professional helicopter pilots when you can't wait to throw mud and question the competence of colleagues in such a public arena and in such an inbalanced and damaging way?
