Of course the fleet leader has not got 250k hours.....more like 10k hours! Its 250k fleet hours....

Pitts and Colibri

The 250k hours was quoted by EC in a customer briefing yesterday, their figures not mine. EC is not looking at the shaft or any changes between AS332L and EC225 from Carburised to Nitrided steel as being the primary cause of these failures.....there is something else happening, they think.
