Got a copy of the AD in front of me. Looks like they found some major cracks in the tailrotor blade. Careflight had been working with CASA once they became aware of it but the crack got worse and now Careflight decided to ground their machine and CASA have basically grounded the other LInfox machine as well.

Not sure what the FAA will do but according to my sources the machine could be down for some time until Agusta sort out the problem.

Dont you just love playing with the first of type.
