Inquiry Clears Crew in Fatal 2013 Super Puma Crash
Accident triggered by "perfect storm of circumstances."

The newly-published results of a public fatal accident inquiry (FAI) into the crash of a CHC Airbus AS332 L2 Super Puma in August 2013 near Sumburgh, Shetland Islands, has concluded “no willful neglect” on the part of the flight crew. Such inquiries are often precursors to possible criminal charges and/or used to bolster civil proceedings under Scottish law. Four passengers of the 18 aboard died when the aircraft hit the water during a non-precision instrument approach to Sumburgh. A fifth passenger committed suicide attributable to crash-related, post-traumatic stress disorder in 2017.
