Helicopter ditched after warning

A FALSE warning of system failure resulted in the crew of a helicopter ditching in the North Sea, according to a report.

All 14 passengers and crew members on the Super Puma were rescued after the incident in May, about 30 miles off the coast of Aberdeen.

Air accident investigators said the crew carried out a controlled ditching.
