The liveware to liveware factors identified in this accident report were the result of lack of communication and lack of qualified personnel. The first issue was that the pilot reported that he had an adequate supply of fuel on board, when in fact he did not. Earlier that morning before the first leg of the flight, the pilot was notified of the helicopter’s low fuel state in the pass down, possibly forgetting about it and not refueling before takeoff. Once the pilot landed at his first destination, he realized that he had given the wrong fuel amount. He also failed to consider the minimum fuel requirements and this would mean that he most certainly did not have enough fuel to complete his second leg without refueling.
