Will it take another incident, possibly with someone famous on board who becomes a fatality. Followed by a massive litigation suit......and then Bell will decide to cut their losses....litrally..and pay and fix!!!
If you are a 407 Helipilot, and you think everything is kosher, go ahead and keep pullin pitch.......it's your own risk!
The SA incident sounds serious enough that if Bell were serious about their product they would at least do a detailed inspection and follow up....if only to save their own bacon!
As ever Lu, enjoyed your Persian Tale!!!!
God Bless Sikorsky and every other manufacturer that listens to it's pilots and takes action!!!!!
