, but fatigue in the main rotor blades deformed them to the point the helicopter couldn't remain airborne.It says the company's owner was also the operations manager and directed how the maintenance department was to respond to a partial loss of engine power the week before. “If company management routinely deviates from regulatory requirements, there is an increased risk that an unsupportive safety culture will develop, affecting the entire organization,” the safety board says in a statement.
