FH1100 PILOT, pls do not catagorise me. I am not castrating Sikorsky or any other OEM. I just thought that the previous post was a bit defensive. I did state NO OEM manufactured the perfect gearbox(332L2 in the North Sea). I also stated how did it pass the tests-in other words as you allude as well are the tests done relevant by the authorities? After only 22 years, 7000hrs and operating only over hostile terrain either military, offshore, HEMS or survey I am not critisizing Sikorsky as such but participate as it leads to a better understanding of the circumstances we operate under and the risks. As you alluded to in your humorous court scenario, the problem I have is that it SEEMS that your answers would differ greatly to your questions unfortunately dependant on whether you fly and know the S92/S92 crew or not.
Sorry if I have the wrong perception!
