Either the ground-run instructions are not being followed properly, or the instructions are not 100% fail-safe.

The Leonardo - Agusta Westland - EH Industries AW101 - EH101 is a very powerfull helicopter.

It is not a Bell 47.

[notar]

The helicopter was put upright on monday evening 27 November.
