I don't think so for the same reason you mention, no reference to the NYC accident. Plus you wouldn’t see an ACS issued in that manner during the Prelim part of an investigation. But thats not to say there could be an ACS issued on the NYC one once it moves to the Factual part of the investigation.
wrench1 (#410): You indicate fatigue cracks in blade spar of the Kentucky accident. But are you referring to the loss of the 206L-1 N114AE on 6 June 2013? The NTSB final report makes no reference to "fatigue" and I couldn't find fatigue mentioned in the airframe report of that accident either.
No. I had corrected my post to reflect it was one in Indiana, N37AE in 2008. My bad.
