From the ABC – fatal helicopter accident in WA.

Couple if interesting parallels between this one and the last one on the Barrier reef pontoon: event occurred during second approach and the automatic floatation failed top deploy.
 
I note both ABC and ATSB prefer to feature the lack of current ‘escape practice’ while ignoring two buggered up approaches, the second ending up a CFIT event, problems with an emergency door release and the failure of the floatation devices. Just saying…..
 
MTF.
