There does seem to be some pretty sensible conversations taking place on the back of the Glasgow accident, or at least if this is representative:-
Helicopter's safe insists MP Brian Donohoe - Daily Record (http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/helicopters-safe-insists-mp-brian-2893345)
Whilst a formal AAIB report will take time how might the various parties best plan to avoid the situation that arose with the 225 should it turn out to be a mechanical issue with the 135?

That process is lovely and at some point there will be some actual facts around the cause, be it a mechanical issue or a human one and then what?
If you take the North Sea examples where you have - it would seem - mechanical issue with the 225's in 2012 and then human factors with the more recent accident.
I suppose it is easier to explain an accident off the back of human factors because the public can understand human errors. However if its a mechanical issue it seems that the 225 solution was heavily reliant upon systems that are not stock in the 135 model. So what then?
