HT,
I like many others have tried to read up on as many PPL(H) accidents as possible, for no other reason as to be able to glean from those reports anything that may help me be a better pilot as far as I can in the private flying world.
But when you ready of the many R22 accidents it seems there is a mantra of comments from Robinson's that always it seems 99% of the time the Pilot is fingered for the accident and this is nearly always backed up by the Robinsin Company, thats fine because the FAA and the CAA here in the UK are seen to be impartial when collating information on any incident, but when the Robbie guys get involved the Pilot is "numero uno",... BUT this cannot always be so.
With the scant information that we are starting to see regarding the blades and the heads especially with these cracks, I feel that some body like the FAA or the CAA should really now do their job and really go in hard to find out why we are seeing this many Rotor problems, that will KILL pilots if left unchecked.
Or will it be left alone,
Peter R-B
