A Super Puma helicopter was signed off as being fit for service the day before it crashed with the loss of 16 lives, a fatal accident inquiry has heard.

The Bond helicopter came down in the North Sea in April 2009.

Typical BBC misreporting. The engineers certification had absolutely nothing to do with the accident. The  AAIB report states:

2. The helicopter was certified, equipped and maintained in accordance
with the existing regulations.
