Latest update on the downunder Koala scenario is apparenytly Agusta have told Careflight that they should change the tail rotor blades every five hours???
Now if the program stays as busy as it has been that means every night, that is if the machine doesnt have any jobs, the night crew would have to change the tail rotor blades.
Needless to say Careflight had some very colourful suggestions on what they thought of that idea.
So much for the good ole customer support. By the way Agusta have, from what I understand, not recognised the AD and grounding from here, and as it stands the only two grounded are the ones in Australia. Time will tell if the same problem surfaces in the US and Europe.
