roundwego,
In Norwegian language - the term "Teknisk feil" in this context equals to something technical going wrong with the helicopter. They did not say anything else. I.e. - They said it was
not a pilot error. Nothing was said about maintenance error.
I read in the Norwegian newspaper
VG that there was only less than 1 second notice from fault detection until the rotor snapped.
I am only a pax on the Super Puma. I do short inspection jobs in the North Sea. I have recently gone through the repetition course for the HUET and even the EBS (emergency breathing system) wich is now mandatory on UK sector. I'm not comfortable with the Super Puma. If they would only have time to ditch it every time.... - I could at least get use of my training.......
