I know most people seem to be focusing on the MGB and there was talk of past issues.
Am I correct in thinking that one of the launch machines (Norske Helicopters) had a problem involving Loss of MGB pressure in the first few hours of flying ? Think it was traced to a plastic component in the pump that had failed a bit earlier than expected.
Then there was an incident in Brunei quite recently that necessitated a forced landing. I think that was Main Transmission related, but not sure if the final conclusion has been reached.
Is this a fundemental problem with the 92 Gear Box and Main transmission or are these isolated events. Seems like a lot of issues for such a new aircraft. Hope they don't ground it as the UK Search & Rescue system depend on them now that the AB139 isn't working either !
