Turøy two years on
At the end of this month it will be two years since the accident that to all intents and purposes ended the use of the EC 255 LP in the North Sea. Does anyone know if we can expect the final report anytime soon or are the AIBN just planning to issue an update to mark the second anniversary? It seems to me that as time goes by we may never get to the bottom of the definitive cause of the gearbox failure.

Norwegian investigators say that the final report has been issued to all parties for comments, and that the feedback is now being processed/incorporated. They also said that the final report will not be out for the second anniversary but will be released "before the summer".

Surely AH would have been eager to tell the world that the root cause had been found. Hearing nothing, we can safely assume that it remains undetermined.

Update today from AIBN:
"A draft of the final report on the tragic accident near Turøy has been for consultation with the parties involved in the investigation. The consultation period is over and the AIBN is working on the comments. It is solely the AIBN’s decision whether or not a comment shall be accepted and incorporated into the final report. This is a laborious and time-consuming process, which will also involve clarifications and consultation with external contributors.
At the time being, we are unable to present a firm date for publication of the report. The work will continue without letup until the final report is ready for publication".
