Bristow S-92 Emergency landing at Yme oil platform
SAS
I don't think that the S-76 rotor brake could be described as "automatic". S-76 rotor brakes have been a manual lever type since the B model, nealy 30 years.

Even on the A's industry insider, you have the option to fit the electrical rotorbrake-all A++ and C+ I worked with had the electrical rotor brake. As Sas says, its a rather complicated kit especially these days after the SB with flashing lights and steady lights etc. Till have to remember to make sure its off too otherwise tom the battery is a gonner.

From the AIBN yesterday, via google translate
New Survey of incident 120 NM southwest of Stavanger
Description
A Sikorsky S- 92A helicopter was 4 October 2013 on the way from the Sun to Valhalla with 12 passengers on board when several warning light in the cockpit came on. At the same time the main gearbox reduced cooling of the oil. The crew wanted to land as quickly as possible, but poor visibility led to their having to land on the unmanned platform Yme . The passengers and crew were later retrieved from the platform by helicopter .
This incident has been classified as an incident , but AIBN has chosen to investigate , cf Aviation Act § 12 to 12 , second paragraph.

Terrifying reading
A catalogue of many things wrong with the regulatory induced, redundancy, 'zero risk', accountability, approach.
These guys were nearly elf-n-safetied to death ... (which is a very real possibility, like Glasgow, the thread for which is a standing demonstration that even after a year of masterclasses into to subtleties of the EC135 fuel system 86.7% of people still don't understand it)
Only a bit of (very stressful) classically cool analatical thinking averted a disasster. One has to presume the pilots were Norweigan (with Norweigan training, less tick box bull**** there)
Classic from SASless:
"When one compares the 92 and 225 events it makes one wonder if the aircraft have gotten too complex and perhaps a step back in automation might be considered." - really

[QUOTE]and what are you really claiming about Norwegians?/QUOTE]
I believe he was implying that Norwegians are trained to a higher standard then most. Having flown and trained with many of them I would agree. Their programs are very developed and thorough. A tick in a box is not accepted unlike some other countries that I have witnessed over the years. Economics plays a part in every operators flight operations department and that is understandable. Unfortunately, this can get muddy when times are tight, personal are short, contracts are awarded on short notice, new start up companies etc etc!
