I ve taken the trouble to read through the Luftfartvaesenet 's reports on the last accident, in English and Danish, as well as the the article in BT, the latter being a good example of SAS PR efforts and Bombardier bashing it would seem to me.

The prelimanary, but updated reports state clearly that a MLG component (MSV) was replaced by a nosewheel MSV that had been 'worked' by maintanance services. In order to fit this modified part into the MLG, fttings from the original MSV were used, those possibly 'hiding' an O-ring that later on caused the accident.

(Ref http://www.hcl.dk/graphics/Synkron-L...K_03112007.pdf page 2)

Can a manufacturer be accused of design flaws if a company doesn t use the right parts and follows its own procedures during maintanance operations?

Looking forward to the final report.

Fly safely.
