In early times H-53 helicopters had similar accident scenarios and also lot H-53 were lost. Studying these accident reports together with S76 accident reports you are able to identify the root case
Care to elaborate? I don't think anyone has ever labeled the S76 as being particularly user friendly.... but "unflyable? Hardly.
