Comment in this week's Flight Global ...

"But it seems clear that opportunities were missed. The frankly startling revelation that parts sourced from one of two suppliers have a failure rate three times as high as the alternative is troubling; that no one thought to analyse this data before last year’s Norway crash is almost beyond belief".

Yes, the H225 complies with all the certification requirements, but that begs the difficult question as to whether those standards are still fit for purpose.
