This helicopter was brand new, had only 40 hours of flight time. The owner and the pilot died on the spot. They tried to land on a small private landing site at night under IMC conditions

I have synthetic Vision on my Flymap L. Absolutely fantastic when you don't need it (because you can see). Quite a toy - thought it might be useful for inadvertant IMC - making a U-turn in those Scottish Glens - though never had the occasion to need it for that.
There is one flaw, however, that I noticed: No rendering for trees!
Perhaps the finding of the enquiry will be that the absence of rendering of trees in the software led directly to the impact.

Obstacle coverage is severely limited globally.
Unfortunately people don't realise there are no trees, towers, buildings, wires or obstacles.

In fairness (to Honeywell at least) an EGPWS database is not intended for navigation, and certainly not meant to have the granularity required to have a 200 ft 'rock in the ocean' in it. The database is primarily aimed at the FW world, and the market size of the RW world renders the cost of providing this level of fine detail, globally, prohibitive
Airbus RFM Helionix -
Synthetic Vision System (SVS, optional)
WARNING • THE SVS ONLY DISPLAYS OBSTACLES WHICH ARE INCLUDED IN THE HTAWS DATABASE.
• A GROUP OF OBSTACLES IS SOMETIMES PRESENTED ONLY BY A SINGLE "GROUP" OBSTACLE IN THE HTAWS DATABASE. IN THIS
CASE, THE INDIVIDUAL OBSTACLES WILL NOT APPEAR AT THE CORRECT LOCATION ON THE SVS.
CAUTION THE SVS DOES NOT DISPLAY ANY LINE OBSTACLES (CABLES, WIRES, LINES).
The Synthetic Vision System (SVS) is intended to increase the pilot's situation awareness in VFR and IFR.
Use of the SVS does not change the rules and minima for VFR and IFR (i.e. no operational credit shall be claimed).
Navigation and terrain avoidance shall not be based upon SVS information. In VFR, the pilot shall use external references:
in IFR, the pilot shall use the published procedures.
Simultaneous display of SVS on all MFDs is prohibited.
