Lack of fuel led to emergency landing
A problem with the fuel supply was the reason for a helicopter of the type EC 225 made an emergency landing on Vigrestad Saturday night, said general manager Renee De Jong in Bristow Norway

Flying brand new machines can have it's moments.
Had a group of Agusta Engineers (the kind with university degrees) working in QC come up and ask if they could look at my Chinook as we were getting ready to do a training sortie. After a few minutes with calipers, micrometers, perhaps a meter stick...a Chinese Parliment over some technical drawings...and we were asked to retire for the day. Seems during a fabrication process some fellow mis-read the drawings...set wrong numbers on the computer operated milling machine...and cut the synch shafts a bit short. For the un-knowing...the "synch shaft" is the one that keeps the two rotor heads tied together. A failure of them....and a Wokka becomes the world's most efficient sausage maker.
