Hmm, I was thinking about this thread last night and wondered where it had gone, and that drink i was sitting on, so decided the current bottle of Jameson’s was worth another couple of double shots as well.

The first thing my morning head has said is that we need a very simple AD or at least an SB, - check and remove mounts if they are part no. #### and replace with XXXXX at next hundred.

A Robinson safety notice detailing the dangers of fwd CofG, because of this "chugging" and a procedure to abate it if encountered.

In the other thread on the subject there was suggestion that this phenomena may account for many other accidents. Always dangerous jumping to those conclusions, but I can think of one with four POB fatal in the Kimberly that might? fit the bill.

Oh for the information back then.
