Canada decided to inspect regularly and repair as necessary.
Thats not quite true Jacko. We've been trying to get AW to fix the problem. The inspect & repair is because they haven't fixed the problems yet. Not sure what you guys did as a fix, but I'm sure our Cormorant guys would love to know.

The parts (half-hubs) on the tail rotor have a life of 1700hrs, yet have been showing cracks into the main structure at an average of about 35hrs.

Due to these problems, the Danes had been refusing delivery of their 14 EH101s.

As for the a/c itself, everyone here loves it.
