The report into the crash, which took place on 29 November 2013, said:
the fuel pumps were switched off when the helicopter was somewhere between Dalkeith in Midlothian and Bothwell in South Lanarkshire
the first "low fuel" indicator activated somewhere before Bothwell
the audible "low fuel" warning was acknowledged by the pilot, David Traill, five times. Guidelines say he should have landed within 10 minutes, but did not
there were about 32 seconds between the first engine flaming out and the second, but the single engine emergency shutdown checklist was not completed in that time
there was no evidence of any technical malfunction and there was fuel left in the tanks
