AAIB report January 2021

G-ETPJ Augusta 109E Electrical fire, aft equipment bay. The chaffed cable was part of a design change that was made whilst the helicopter was on the UK military register before being approved by a Supplementary Type Certificate (STC) when the helicopter was transferred to the civil register. A protective strip should have been installed as part of the design change, but this was missing when the helicopter was examined after the incident.

G-CIBW Westland Scout Loss of door window in level flight. Examination of the door and window frame found that the rubber window retaining grommet had perished.
