For those reading the SB and thinking this is directly related to this incident, it is not. AAIB have not given Leonardo any information that leads Leonardo to believe this to be the cause of the crash. Leonardo are being proactive. That is what Leonardo Customer Support are advising 169 owners.
Has Leonardo looked at the videos? You bet. Have they looked at all the possible mechanical issues that may cause this? You bet. And this would seem to be the most likely scenario that they have come up with on their own.
Doesn't mean it is the actual cause of this accident though.
if you're part of AAIB or Leonardo, then their might be some weight to your claims...
Otherwise, I'm pretty sure Leonardo staff are working alongside AAIB staff and the information is flowing freely amongst them.
