210 Crash

As far as I know the maintenance company who did the last MPI was found guilty, lost their license to operate (AMO) and got sued for a few million in liabilities, and I think guilty on manslaughter...

The owner of the AMO, had a AOC as well, traded in bankrupsy and owes a lot of people a lot of money....bankrupted the business, and is currently trying to ressurect the whole thing, go to Nelspruit South Africa, they own half the airport....

Keith might have the nitty gritty details, I have lost touch with him.

OUTCOME, the propeller was fixed to the crankshaft without the "torque studs" therfore the propeller bolts took all the torque and gyroscopic force, and eventually broke off,

this is all second hand or older info, but you can allways call RIALEN air in Nelspruit and talk to the owner
