Noted in the article that 85% of helicopters flying today likewise wouldn't meet the new crashworthy standard, so are all those now grounded or uninsurable? Cause was pilot not switching on hydraulics, getting somewhat removed to after crash consequences. Must be a litigation US deal that the operator/OEM of an aircraft complying with a regulated certification standard can still be sued for not being "good enough". We can start to split hairs on whether any fuel system won't be compromised in a crash.
