it was found that the cast acrylic ones did not meet this certification standard.
How was this determined?
Was it the cast wind screen maker?
Who first went on record stating that?
When was that information made public or transmitted to the FAA, Sikorsky, and the operators?
Upon learning of this problem with meeting the "certification standard"....what did the FAA, Sikorsky, and operators do?
If PHI knew of this situation and installed a component known to fall short of the safety standard in place at the time....where does that leave them re liability?
I should have gone to law school after getting my helicopter ratings....and moved to Lafayette and gotten rich off the helicopter industry. It does seem to be a lucrative profession. (Suing helicopter operators....not flying for them!)
