The NTSB tried to ground it but came up against some rather strong politics from The FAA. I have been told by friends in the States and I m not sure how true it is the R22 would not pass todays certification requirements. Mind you the S92 shouldnt have passed either and looked what happened to its gearbox due to Skiorksy finding a way round the certification
