Thanks for further confirming that Sikorsky did water down the RFM from 'continuing pressure drop' after the 35psi warning to '5psi or below' after the incident in Norway in 2005.

I guess they never expected the vespel spline problems.

A 2002 manual would have been pre certification (FAA, TC or JAA). Your approved Sept 2004 amendment came after the foreign certifications. Funny that!
