You do write a lot of rubbish.
There have only ever been two Emergency Airworthiness Directives issued by the FAA concerning the MD902 since it came into service over 10 years ago. Unfortunately, both occurred during last week which has given rise to the recent bad publicity.
Only the first one, issued on 14 Aug 08, relates to the NOTAR and most affected aircraft were flying again two days later. MDH should be praised for their fast response in issuing SB900-108 and getting the aircraft back online so quickly.
The second one, issued on 20 Aug 08, does not relate to the NOTAR but concerns the Vertical Stabilizer Control System (VSCS). The issue revolves around a recent batch of adapter tubes that have "not been manufactured to the required specifications". It is a quality control issue for the supplier of the adapter tubes and not a safety issue relating to the design of the system.
MDH have very sensibly, and speedily, issued SB900-109 which requires that the VSCS be switched off until adapter tubes of the correct specification have been fitted. It is because of this that the aircraft has been restricted to 100 knots and it is nothing to do with the NOTAR.
quichemech is absolutely right - "it is a great system and so much safer when operating as an air ambulance."
