CHC had a problem with their 365N1 last week. It had to do an emergency landing after heavy vibration and after they shut down, discovered it was a satrflex failure. IT could have been really serious and it's lucky nobody was injured. Starflex failures are pretty unusual on Dauphins. Has anybody else heard of inflight failures like this?
I hear that Caverton have lost another pilot. That's 3 already in less than a year of operating. It may not seem much, but it's a lot for a company with only 2 helicopters. What's going on there? I also hear they got damage to the fenestron of their Dauphin when it was in Port Harcourt for the Presidential visit recently. I still haven't seen one of their Astars in Nigeria yet, though they're advertising them on their website. I heard they had someone in Portugal to ferry them out. Are they on their way yet?
