Genghis the Engineer
Shame Flying Lawyer isn't able to talk about this stuff any more .....
It's a shame for me too - I wish I could.
However, if I could, I would have to qualify and/or correct some things you've said.
Please don't be offended. I respect your engineering qualifications. However, in legal matters as in many other fields, a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.
.. The particular danger on PPRuNe is that, if advice appears to be knowledgeable, readers may accept it at face value. I've seen it happen many times over the years, although not often in Rotorheads.
(Edit)
chopjock If you go ahead and are prosecuted, then your lawyers (preferably aviation specialists) should obtain expert opinion.
NB: From a helicopter specialist with many years of practical experience in helicopter ops - nothing less.
Anyone else could result in you losing a lot more than just the fees you wasted on your 'expert'.
