I believe the TRPCS issue has never been redesigned so yes. They are protecting it with increased monitoring.

G-REDL happened in 2009 with Bond (16 fatal). The exact same failure mode happened again in 2016 with CHC (13 fatal)

Time apart 7yrs there. I don’t think time has any bearing on faulty design personally.

Chances of this accident being related to the same issue as the 2016 issue highlighted then it’s unlikely but they will be looking at all avenues and previous design related issues.

They likely already know the cause as they will have survivor feedback. Speculation therefore shouldn’t last too long.
