S-92

Hi Brian
As part of prelift checks we check "AFCS" mode so it's
unlikely but not impossible
more likely AVC has dropped offline --- sometimes happens

The question of adding a 5th or 6th blade comes up now and again
can anybody tell me why it seems to be so hard or impossible for Sikorsky to come to the same conclusion

With the introduction in of Phase 3 gearboxes
any results/feedback come in yet ?
