S76Heavy, you say "... The first few flights after we were cleared to operate again where still quite scary and all of us were extremely vigilant."

As a regular passenger on 225s, I would like to think the flight crew are always EXTREMELY VIGILANT

AND another thing - further to the discussion on frequency of data analysis, I don't understand why the bevel gear and oil pump gear mesh frequency detectors aren't clagged up to orange and red lights on the dashboard not to mention remotely monitored.

Oil platforms do continuous vibration monitoring on safety and business critical kit - if a compressor or turbine throws a wobbly, it is displayed real-time on a computer screen on-shore.

How come the aviation industry is so negligently lax in this respect?
