事故
直升機資料
涉及是次事故的飞机為阿古斯特维斯特兰AW169直升机,註冊編號為G-VSKP[19],c/n69018,並於2016年製造[20]。飛機能承載10人,負重约4,500公斤[21]。直升機的兩個引擎为普惠公司PW210A型号[22]。
调查
英国航空事故调查局就墜機事故展開調查[23]。直升機的飛行紀錄儀已被尋回,但因大火而嚴重受損[24]。
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) opened an investigation into the accident. Italy's Agenzia Nazionale per la Sicurezza del Volo, representing the state of the manufacturer of the helicopter, and Canada's Transportation Safety Board, representing the state of the manufacturer of the helicopter's engines, provided assistance. Accredited representatives from Poland's State Commission on Aircraft Accidents Investigation and Thailand's Aircraft Accident Investigation Committee also provided assistance. The aircraft's Digital Flight Data Recorder was recovered on 28 October, having been severely damaged in the fire. It was transported to the AAIB's base at Farnborough, Hampshire, for downloading of data contained therein. The wreckage of the helicopter was transported to Farnborough on 2 November.
A coroner's court was created to investigate the official cause of death for the passengers and crew of the helicopter. The investigation reported in the court revealed that there was minimal opportunity for any individuals who survived the initial crash to escape, or anyone to help those trapped.
On 7 November, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) issued an Airworthiness Directive, demanding checks of the tails of all AgustaWestland AW169 and AgustaWestland AW189 helicopters, as a precautionary measure. On 14 November, the AAIB released a Special Bulletin, outlining the progress of the investigation. A loss of yaw control was revealed as the cause of the aircraft crashing, with the reasons for the loss of yaw control not yet determined. The investigation is concentrating on the tail rotor system as a matter of priority. On 30 November, the EASA issued an Emergency Alert Service Bulletin requiring periodic inspection of part of the tail rotor system. This was made mandatory by an Airworthiness Directive issued the same day.
On 6 December 2018, the AAIB published a second Special Bulletin. Investigators revealed that loss of control of the helicopter resulted from the tail rotor actuator control shaft (which controls the pitch of the tail rotor blades) becoming disconnected from the actuator lever mechanism that transmits the pilots' pedal inputs to control the helicopter's yaw. They have also revealed evidence of the normally stationary control shaft being spun by the tail rotor which caused the castellated nut holding the actuator lever in place to friction weld to its carrier, shear off its split pin and rotate off the threaded shaft. The locking nut and pin carrier were found loose in the tail rotor fairing and were bonded together. A duplex bearing that was designed to allow the control shaft to remain stationary (with the rest of the tail rotor assembly rotating around it) have been found to only allow a few degrees of rotation, with the races blocked up by a mix of burnt grease and metallic particles. Work continues to identify the cause of the damage observed to the duplex bearing and to establish its contribution to the failure sequence.}}

英格蘭足球總會女子冠軍聯賽中李斯特城對曼聯的比赛,以及對打比郡的賽事均延遲舉行,以示尊重[25][26]。英格蘭足球聯賽盃中李斯特城對南安普敦的賽事原定在10月30日與王權球場舉行,亦宣告延遲。英超國際盃中李斯特城U23s對飛燕諾學院的賽事也同樣延遲[27][28]。
翌日早上,球迷们在王權球場外獻花,亦有人獻上李斯特城和其他足球隊(包括韋斯咸)的隊衫和圍巾[29]。周日舉行的多場英國足球賽事,各球員均戴上黑色臂章,紀念李斯特城墜機事故和國殤紀念日[30]。
