Any details on an incident last month in GoM involving a failure of horizontal stabilizer fitting?
It was a corrosion related problem. Not sure which operator but I suspect PHI.

To prevent cracking of the tail rotor pylon and horizontal at the stabilizer mounting points there is now an ASB which calls for the machined surfaces to be painted with a Teflon coating. Bonding jumper cables are also to be added to maintain electrical bonding.

The ASB has a 250 hour / 6 month implementation period. Considerably higher priority that the infamous Boome oil filter stud ASB.
