Narrative:At 0600 the helicopter departed from Brønnøysund heading for the floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel "Norne". On board were 10 passengers and 2 crew. It was a normal flight until an intermittent engine overspeed light was observed.
A fault had developed in the splined adaptor between the high speed bendix shaft and the right hand engine, which had caused damage to the engine overspeed protection system. The splined adaptor disintegrated, severed the high speed shaft, which lead to an overspeed of the power turbine which burst, cutting control rods and the helicopter became uncontrollable. Everybody on-board was killed on impact with the sea.
The critical sensor in the Health and Usage Monitoring System fitted to the aircraft had been unserviceable prior to the accident. The AIBN concluded it would have alerted if it had been serviceable.
The AIBN report makes 18 recommendations, including on regulation on HUMS.
