What calculations can you perform on that?
There you completely missed the point and cherry picky what you would like to hear.
And some fact:
REDL did have just one chip.
REDN had numerous chip after "close monitoring" and still flying, nuff said. and I would appreciate if you would quote the conclusion in the report as well.
OJF, until the norwegian can explain why did they drawn up conclusion before they have a clue and been taking hindsight finding like opening christmas present is beyond me.
BTW, rarely seen a gearbox could survive the heavy hover after initial finding. But in the money world, even a rock fell off is acceptable.
