I understand that the SACAA has withdrawn the instructor rating of the pilot of the EC-120. He will get this back when he completes a Eurocopter Instructors course because "of fenestron issues". This smells!
Are Eurocopter aware of something that we are not?
Is there something to do with the fenestron that needs extra instruction and if so, why?
Are all helicopter instructors conversions to be done by "factory approved" instructors in the future?
Seems to me that there are an aweful lot of 'now illegal' instructors in SA if this is the case...
