AAIB: Poor Monitoring, CRM Led To Fatal Helo Ditching
According to the AAIB, the helicopter’s decreasing airspeed went unnoticed by the pilots until the helicopter was in a critically low-energy state.

In its recently released final report, the UK’s Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) cited the crew’s ineffective monitoring of the flight instruments and poor crew resource management in the fatal ditching of a CHC Scotia-operated Airbus AS332 L2 Super Puma near Sumburgh Airport in August 2013. Four of the 16 passengers died in the crash.
