- On 29 April 2016, an Airbus Helicopters H225 suffered a fatal accident off Norway. Official investigators, supported by Airbus Helicopters, identified the chain of events leading up to the accident and were able to isolate the contributing factors. This video summarises what they discovered, and explains how Airbus Helicopters has improved the safety of the H225.

That ist amazing for a manufacture to be that honest about their own products!
It's just a shame that Airbus didn't solve the issue after the first crash caused by gearbox issues. They've done as little as possible for as long as possible and will continue to do so as long as they can get away with it. Their philosophy makes me sick and no amount of extra checks will restore the confidence of either the North Sea workers or their families as it has already become apparent that these checks do nothing to prevent these aircraft from dropping out the sky.
Honest? It is the third fatal crash due to their gearbox and they still haven't changed a thing. The only changes is increased maintenance rather than fix their flawed gearbox. Equinor has said they will not use the super pumas ever again. And that is good. I would never step a foot inside a super puma.
@@SoidSnake What 3 accidents? I though only one accident. The video is very misleading. The should say 3 accidents in the first place.
When you buy a helicopter for 30 million euros you do not need this honesty, you need a reliable product that has been tested before the client
This video was much more informative than the one they made about the bevel gear welded together from two parts
Superb structured analysis even to the extend to cover all the potential causes.Videos
illustrate the importance of Quality and Reliability
Great report.
Need more video of this kind from airbus official channel
Nice work
Good Job and very informative video
That is a lot of torque. If the engines combined provide maximum power, I calculate about 128000NM at 265rpm, a bit more than my helis 2200nm at 625rpm, lol. Thanks for the video.
The problem with EC225 is because it is an old design. It started life as a medium size Helicopter and was stretch like stretching the Airbus plane. Therefore the MGB is questionable whether it can withstand the load. Airbus should design a new heavy helicopter from scratch.
Wow never seen a manufacturer openly do this; post a video about their plane that cash. I love you Airbus
Fantastic! Amazing! Phenomenal! Great feedback, response and attitude! Ones faith in your products can only exponentially multiply from this. Excellent!
Did I got it right that Airbus missed to implement a security mechanism which would hold the rotor in place (and slowing the crash) in case of a crack? This video looks more like a revelation: wrongly calculated lifetimes for its parts, no backup measures, problems in logistics, contamination during service and inadequate tools to check for metallic particles.
The problem still exist. The Turøy accident is the third fatal accident because of their gearbox. The forth one is still to come
There is no such security mechanism. The gearbox literally disintegrated, so there was no longer anything for the rotor to attach to. This video shows their analysis, transparency, and work to correct the problem so it never happens again.
Why such crucial elements don't have sensor lines built-in? Connecting lines between sensors inside that big gear. If broken lines = material deformated/crushed.
Fantástic 👍
Is CHC is Dutch?
No. CHC is a Canadian company.
Roddy Lesperance ok, theres also a CHC Netherlands
Yes I believe they have different sub companies located in different countries where they operate, similar to Bristow
Shortest way is sequently maintenance(high tech metal crack detector),,huge stock of sparepart,,and for sustainable is material laboratory to make better precious metal using in every Airbus Product even just single bolt,,this could be on Maintenance Department or Quality Department on factory before in sends,thanks,,❤️❤️,
Meanwhile
Boeing - It's 100% the pilots fault
God job, congratulations
I am done with the Puma and I am done with the constant excuses from Airbus. I will not be stepping foot on a 225 or 332 in any form ever again. We (the North Sea offshore workers) have lost all confidence in the aircraft and no amount of so called changes or improvements will change this. Every time one drops from the sky, there is an investigation and a change in procedures/maintenance etc. All is well with the Puma.......then another one drops out of the sky, more fatalities, the cycle continues. How long before another ones fails and more mothers/fathers/sons/daughters are needlessly killed?
Obviously due to the financial implications, Airbus will tell us all is great with their helicopters but then again, they have already made it clear that they won't let a handful of mangled bodies stand in the way of their profits. They may have every confidence in their products, they will be the only ones who do.
even though I fully understand your concern and your way of thinking (i am also not a big fan of airbus) the amount if incidents/accidents were comparable to other helicopter models like the eh101 merlin. This of course doesnt excuse the way of dealing with these incidents, it just means that the helicopter itself is not more dangerous to fly than other comparable ones.
I can understand your concerns: wrongly calculated lifetimes for its parts, no backup measures, problems in logistics, contamination during service and inadequate tools to check for metallic particles.
