Now that Airbus has lifted the suspension, my regulator is mute, having not suspended flights, all I have to do is persuade our operator to lift their (apparently unnecessary) suspension and the pilots to fly as normal and all will be statistically fine.
For clarity I am not suggesting the 225 restarts O&G flights right now. I would certainly want to have a fairly good idea of the cause of this latest accident first, and then make an intelligent decision. What I would want to avoid is "out of the frying pan into the fire" by making unintelligent decisions based solely on emotion and miraculously expecting a new generation of helicopters to never have design problems.
