‘Unpreventable’: Deadly 2022 Osprey caused by malfunction, not crew

"The service has also unequivocally absolved the aircraft’s crew and maintainers of any errors."

“The investigation revealed no error on the part of the pilots and aircrew, and confirmed no maintenance errors led to the mishap."

“The degraded drivetrain caused by the dual [hard clutch engagement] event and subsequent single engine/[interconnect drive system] failure created an unrecoverable departure from controlled flight, resulting in the tragic crash that occurred on June 8, 2022,” according to today’s statements.
