Minor correction - it's the AAIB not CAA

Sorry, of course it’s the AAIB...it’s been a long couple of months...

ISTR there was a lot of obfuscation from Bell and they tried to blame pilot error rather than acknowledge the AFCS had a problem.

Might be a better procedure to keep one Technical Crewman onboard to take the figures - doesn't even need to be in the cockpit as the pilot could say the numbers over the ICS?

This is exactly what we do with our 412 EPi's. A quick snap shot of the screen with the cell phone is another method if alone in the cockpit.

ET - yes we do the same on our 412EPs

RIp to the four who perished today

Anyhow Wiltshire a/c is one of the response to the tragic explosion at Avonmouth according to press images. Though the DM wrote it as HEMs were actively searching for any peeps trapped.
