Pitch and Break
I am not running any defensive play for anyone- hence me not naming ANY operators by name. I know of the operator concerned in this incident but this is not of any concern to me. Why should it be? I am merely concerned with the safety issues and the FACTS. (Which despite two requests by me and one by RDRickster you seem unwilling or unable to provide).
I challenge you- as an individual who claims to have seen the
damaged machine- to provide some evidence as to YOUR claim that 50 % of the tailboom was severed. I merely commented that in MY personal opinion based on MY experience I cannot fathom why the tail rotor drive shaft would remain intact. What is unreasonable about that?
As to my claims of your associations with certain operators I seemed to have touched a raw nerve!
Anyway I cannot see how this thread can progress in a CONSTRUCTIVE manner without some pictures of the aircraft concerned. I look forward to this and will reserve further comment until then.
Good Night and Thank You.
