EC350/550 Airframe Problems
Hey guys, posted this in Rumours first-any info would be greatly appreciated-
We just had a major inspection at our company of our fleet of 20 aircraft. On just over 1/3 of the fleet we found major cracks and debonding of fiberglass/kevlar and aluminum all over the forward portions of the fuselage, mainly upper door runners and door posts, one aircraft had one door post top completely severed in half due to a major cracks attaching to the roof. The oldest aircraft has just over 1000 hours, while some of the others have just over 100 hours. Does anyone have any prior knowledge or experience with this? This was addressed to Eurocopter a year ago with no feedback from them.
