Sorry to all you current guys who love the complexity of all the Gucci modes, bells and whistles that the S-92 enjoys, and you guys well versed in procedures and plates for everything. All those 'advantages' were directly responsible for this CFIT. It simply would not, indeed could not, have happened to a simple 'steam age' Sea King. KISS seems appropriate - so much has been lost for such little gain it seems. I wonder, has any SAR job been done with an S-92 that wouldn't have been done by a Sea King?
ps: like P3, genuinely interested!
