Did making certain "assumptions" lead to this latest tragedy?
Forget assumptions here folks....leave them on the ground until the steel studs are installed, checked, and cleared for flight.
I would also take the down time to go over the aircraft from the top of the head cover to the tip of the rotor blades looking for any thing less than perfect. By that I mean....inspect in excess of "Standard" procedure.
Dare we "assume" the titanium stud defect was one of the links to this latest accident or just something that was found coincidentally?
