Someone dies, this creates an opportunity for some childish bickering and point scoring. Rather sad.

Looks like a normal training run, maybe they settled into the water unintentionally?

Sadly, it was just confirmed that there is one fatality. The other five have varying degrees of injuries.
Update 29.2.24: One is critically injured, one has serious injuries and three have minor injuries.

That "loss of control incident" was 4 years ago. Feb 2020

Not sure this design flaw has ever been fixed by Sikorsky other than increased monitoring -

I believe there were a handful of identical issues going back previously also as they issued an emergency AD just before that accident above.

Just a post to highlight previous loss of control events. Most likely unrelated to this event but you never know.

Considering the events you write of occurred in 2016 do you think your speculation is appropriate in this case?

G-REDL happened in 2009 with Bond (16 fatal). The exact same failure mode happened again in 2016 with CHC (13 fatal)
Time apart 7yrs there. I don’t think time has any bearing on faulty design personally.
Chances of this accident being related to the same issue as the 2016 issue highlighted then it’s unlikely but they will be looking at all avenues and previous design related issues.
They likely already know the cause as they will have survivor feedback. Speculation therefore shouldn’t last too long.

What does an S92 and a Super Puma have in common? What do design faults have in common? What do aviation accidents have in common?
My point was about design flaws that have a habit of coming back to bite. Time is no measure. It’s not just on Super Pumas, S92’s, it happens across the whole of aviation whether that be whirly birds or fixed wing (B737 max for example)
This thread will naturally be open to speculation until something more formal comes out. Human nature my friend.
Chill out and relax
