UK AAIB helicopter entries for October
Two entries this month.
G-TASS, H300 - crashed in the Lake District, and there is a suggestion in the report that possible unreported maintenance activity on the mixture control cable was a big contributor.
S61 divert - diverted with less than min reserves due poor weather. Q for the S61 people - how long does 425lb actually last ?
The good news - no fatalities.

Evening,
Reading through the 61 fuel shortage report made me think. The limit 600ft cloudceiling and 4k vis seems pretty standard for VFR approach fuel to a coastal airfield assuming that this was an IFR fllight initially. However I was under the impression that coastal airfields now need a trend section in their Metar to allow pilots to fly to those limits?
Regards,
Woolf
