Hey guys,
One of the choppers I fly had the blade paint slowly eating away, and during the 100 hour the mechanic cleaned it up nicely and painted it. Lasted for one flight, then wore off again. Painted it again, wore off again. We were unable to fly the thing half of the time due to this, until the mechanic apparently found something in the AD that says it is the mechanic's responsibility to monitor the blades, so thus put an update in the POH and required no pre-flight inspection. Met with an R44 operator in another state that had the same thing.
Anyone know the details on this little path?
Mike
