If you are a 407 Helipilot, and you think everything is kosher, go ahead and keep pullin pitch.......it's your own risk!
I think that goes for every type, not just 407's. Are the 10 crew/pass on the ERA 76 last month "less-dead" than if they were on a faulty 407? Or how about the crew/passengers on that Bristow 76 that threw a blade in the North sea 2 years ago?
You offer Good advice, but I'd caution everyone to be ultra careful, question everything, accept no faults, maintain limits, give yourself the "out".
I don't fly a 407 knowing everthing is Kosher( whatever that is?, I've only seen that word on Pickle Jars? Must mean "filled with Garlic?) nor do I fly an L3 or a 212 or ? knowing that everything is always OK.
