S92 MGB Foot Inspection

I believe the AD is aimed at preventing a circumferential crack which could result in the complete severing of a RH foot. SAC I believe have been working to reduce the total times on the cases in service already.

The visual inspection (whilst also effective at detecting the above - one would hope!) is not to be confused with the intent of the AD - this inspection is aimed at detecting the hairline crack in the outer edge of the foot which originates from the bolt hole; this remains a 10 hour inspection I believe.
