Offshore helicopter ditches into the North Sea

Originally published 11 May 2012 · Archived from aircrashreport.com

A Bond Helicopter Eurocopter EC225 has made a precautionary ditching 25 miles off Aberdeen, Scotland. All 14 persons on board have been rescued. The crew made the decision to land on the ocean after a cockpit indication of low oil pressure (likely in the main rotor gearbox).

The helicopter was enroute to offshore drilling and support rigs at the time of the incident. Link - Daily Mirror:
