MD Explorer Blade Retention Pins
I am trying to gather some data on the blade pin failures that have occurred over the years and would like to hear from anyone who has knowledge of such failures.
I believe the aircraft manufacturer is stating that the failures are only occuring on the UK fleet - not sure if it is just the Emergency Services fleet or the UK fleet as a whole.
It would also be interesting to hear from anyone who has seen similiar issues on other types with any views as to what was causing the failures and what was done to 'fix it'.
