Ramen - the way a helicopter is operated (MAUM, High IAS, High DA, lots of manoeuvering etc) has everything to do with the fatigue spectrum.

The only question really is whether the vibration caused by the rotor in the S-92 has contributed to failure of the filter studs - if so then the way the aircraft is operated may be very pertinent indeed.
