NTSB v Sikorsky
When the Copterline tragedy occurred Sikorsky eventually (after a significant delay) circulated a letter advising of `an S76 mishap`.12 dead - some mishap!
Now the NTSB has identified what it believes to be a good reason for immediate checks to be carried out on the aircraft, yet Sikorsky are quibbling about interpretation of test results and recommending a wait and see policy.
Imagine the fun and games the lawyers will have should another S76 mishap occur whilst we are waiting for Sikorsky and the FAA to find the same page in the hymn book.
Perhaps a note to Eric Hansen, S76 Program Manager at Sikorsky might help.
