"You might want to check your stats. According to the FAA, the 427 has only had 9 ADs (plus 2 PW200 ADs), while the EC135 has had 15 ADs (plus 2 PW200 ADs and 5 Arrius 2 ADs). The MD900/902 has had 20 ADs (plus 1 revoked), plus those 2 PW200 ADs.

I/C Yesterday 11:14"

I/C - Check my stats. And that is exactly the point. Which stats you use, and how you interpret them can put a whole different perspective on things.

Your (FAA) stats show 9 ADs on the Bell 427.

Transport Canada stats, meanwhile show 13 current and 1 cancelled.
CAWIS - AD Record List=

CASA in Oz shows 12 current

Civil Aviation Safety Authority - Rotorcraft

And as for the EC135, the FAA may well list 15 ADs but take a look at the German view

The wonderful world of figures and stats.
