March AAIB

[Keepitup]

Report out

Air Accidents Investigation: March 2011

[Bravo73]

And to make it just a shade easier for everyone:

Air Accidents Investigation: Schweizer 269C-1, G-CEAW

and

Air Accidents Investigation: Schweizer 269C-1, G-LINX Correction

[Hilico]

And just to make it a shade even easier than that:

G-CEAW - H300 gets into ground resonance with low rpm, tries to rev up and lift off rather than quit. A/c written off, minor injuries to sole occupant.

I wonder whether a Rotorhead was in the Citation that overran the runway - the report says the owner (who was sitting in the RHS) had a helicopter licence.....

Some recent BBC programmes/articles on the world of (nothing particularly rotary) accident investigation:

BBC News - How air crash investigations may be thrown off course

BBC - BBC Radio 4 Programmes - File on 4, Air Crashes

The classic report on this bulletin is the FW guy who had no licence, bought a plane, flew it for 4 hours, ran out of fuel and ditched in the sea!!!!

[Chopper Doc]

Ditched plane

That has got to be one of the funniest AAIB reports I've read.
