91 © Crown copyright 2006 AAIB Bulletin: 8/2006 G-XCEL EW/C2003/12/01 BULLETIN CORRECTION AAIB File: EW/C2003/12/01 Aircraft Type and Registration: AS355F1, G-XCEL Date & Time (UTC): 2 December 2003 Location: Hurstbourne Tarrant, near Andover, Hampshire Information Source: AAIB Field Investigation AAIB Bulletin No 7/2006, page 40 refers Two incorrect statements was made in this report. 1. Section titled Helicopter description: This section described the operation of the ‘beep trim’ rocker switch. The rocker switch moves in a forward and aft sense and not left to right as described.  The text should have read: .....if the pilot increases torque on the right (No 2) engine by moving the switch aft it not only increases the power output of that engine, but decreases power from the left (No1) engine. 2. Section titled Examination of the accident site: This section describes the position of the MRGB, the Combining Gearbox and the main rotor as being 20 m south-west of the fuselage. The text should read:..........These were found, in an unburnt condition, 20 m south-east of the fuselage.
