over 1000 F35s with 2500 ordered for US alone, at about 85 million USD a pop plus through life costs. Then 4,000+ Blackhawks. A couple of hundred S92s are sofa change by comparison.

I refer you to my earlier reference to the AirAsia accident. Plus, the anecdotal information that they pulled 4g recovering - which points to being fully IMC until they came out the cloud bottoms.

I don't think it matters if it was fatal or not (in this context) - it was a fully blown accident, as described in Annex 13, so the NSIA will have an automatic right to access the CVFDR data.
