Place yer bets ...Stein it's not the pilots fault

You don't see the

You dont see the relevance?
The AAIB are saying that the engines were starved of fuel due to those switches being in the off position. Yet crash procedure states that those switches should be switched off during any attempt at autorotation.

Do you see an anomaly there.

He didn't ignore warnings. He aknowledged the warnings and was heading back to GHC when the crash occurred. The helicopter didn't run out of fuel. There was 76 kilograms of fuel still in the fuel tank when it was recovered.

The manufacturer of the helicopter claimed (in its own safety bumph) that after the 1st engine flamed out the second would flame out 3 to 4 minutes later.

The actual time between engine flame outs in the Clutha crash?

32 seconds.

 

Seems a bit daft that there's not an emergency override to feed the fuel through to the engines.

 

Tbh this report leaves us with more questions than answers. Not saying the pilot did nothing wrong but there seems to be a concerted attempt to paint him as incompetent. This is a man who had more than 5, 500 flying hours and was a qualified instructor. He knew his stuff.

 

Maybe the warning system was ****ed. Not as if he would just ignore it. That's silly talk

 

I've altered the tags and deleted the offensive ones... In case anoyone wondered.

I'm moving on out, I'm fooling around, this world is getting crazy and I can't get out.
