Category A cert

Just to clarify,

how can the S92 still be classed (still officially certified) as a Category A rotorcraft (which by definition it must be under JAR29 due to its weight) if the MGB lubrication failure case has now shown to be not 'extremely remote'?


In order to allow it to continue flying I assume that the rectification action (new studs) revalidated the safety case and that the failure is again regarded as extremely remote hence the S92 is again JAR compliant, but without a 30 minute dry run capability.

or have I got the wrong end of the stick?
