Be careful what you wish for......
After yet another crash of a perfectly serviceable helicopter being mishandled due to incorrect and illogical (negligent?) use of the autopilot, the CAA were embarrassingly forced to 'step-in' and mandate changes which were previously regarded as 'optional' by the operators.
Lest not forget the abuse of FDM data to allow flights and deterioration of MRGBs to continue.
Follow that with the political pressure applied by Hairbrush to get their grounded choppers flying again; until a repeat event exposed the shenanigans and spin for what it was.
Government/revenue collector and Oil companies' unhealthy relationship re slack use of 'best practice' and the number of 'blind eyes' present in authority, or at least where the Accountable Manager was meant to be seated......automation and performance 20-years behind fixed-wing despite operating to the same regulations.
Industry being asked if 'commercial pressure' had any affect upon 'safety' and the enquirer accepting the first answer they got as they didn't have the wherewithal to 'turn the stone over' and to have a good look.
The result:
Yet another Industry-quango was formed, employees paid by the oil operators and OEMs with the inevitable glossy brochures and proclamations quickly following on how everything was great again.
Next thing you read is industry media mis-reporting that everything is indeed 'safe' again - so get back in the chopper, sit down, strap-in and shut-up!
That's what happens in Civvy Street.
