McKeg4
As an L2 driver, I am of course concerned about the recent tragic incident. I am also now relieved that the probable cause of the accident has been established and procedures are in place to monitor the gearbox at an increased level.
There is NO WAY that an operator or manufacturer could issue a statement just to placate the offshore workforce and then not comply: imagine what would happen if there was a further incident!
I will continue to trust my life to the aircraft - if I had any doubts I would not fly. Remember every time you get in the helicopter there's two of us up the front.
The most dangerous part of your trip will continue to be the drive to the airport.
Take care out there.
