I can understand giving approval to go beyond TBO on a gearbox or engine where there are no other indications of failure . The BIM on the other hand signals a fault with the main spar of the blade . I was told that the one reason they went to the radioactive BIM indication was so they could be monitored in flight , from initial indication to catstrophic failure can be as little as 4 hours . What does the RFM say about an inflight indication of BIM ? .
