Mutt, I think Savoia was referring to this "other one" - http://www.pprune.org/rotorheads/529...-fourchon.html
Limited number of possible operators. Either MHS or Awan Inspirasi I assume.
ah ok, I wasnt thinking of that one as an offshore helicopter down. I guess it was but it wasnt offshore at the time.
Flying the S76 offshore, I just wondered which ones were meant. I didnt know of any other operators in Malaysia using the 76.

Helimutt: I noted "offshore-employed" ie. related to offshore flying.
Just 'glad' that most of the accidents this month have been non-fatal, many even without injury.
Jeremy, do you know who currently operate 76's in Malaysia. CHC, MHS .. ?

Hmm, short final to the deck it goes into the water. Floats don't inflate (?)and it sinks, but 2 pilots and 6 pass all get out ok. No mention of any mechanical problem (so far). If it was Nigeria we'd all be suspecting that dreaded downburst. Weather change..wind shift to a tailwind?
