With regards to the daily inspection of the epicyclic magnetic chip detectors were the the chip detectors tested at the same time? The PT6 engine and cgb magnetic detectors on the Bell 212 had to be checked at regular intervals by holding a certain weight of metal, I forget the actual weight but it was considerably above a few chips.
This problem may result in Eurocopter in supplying replacement MGB's equipped with tested epicyclic gearing hopefully free of charge.
