Pre-emptive maintenance
Canadian Helicopters Ltd in Canada operating nearly a dozen S76A's sent a priority message to all their bases in Canada on Thursday, mandating that the base engineering staff re-do a number or previously completed ASB's including the Rotor brake, main mast NDT, and T/R gearbox. I can emphasize that the motivation for this action was ONLY to ensure that these ASB's were completed properly and thoroughly. The due date for completion in July 22 at midnight save the NDT (FPI) on the main mast which has a re-do date of early August. Meanwhile, we continue to fly the aircraft for EMS work in Ontario.
