i.e. crew lifts, monsoon bucket duties or training.

Yes, flying these machines outside of their parameters also. I have seen a few of these flying heavy loads in marginal conditions at times. We Kiwis are very good at add on gear to a variety of machinery the manufacturer probably did not foresee or engineer their product for.

When I mean HUMAN error, I don't heap the cause on pilot error . It starts at the design stage , and works it way through material selection manufacturing etc
