However, if I was a gambling man I would put money on the next accident NOT being related to a Super Puma family gearbox issue. By the time we resume flying it will surely have had more scrutiny than just about anything else! Something unrelated will come out of the woodwork on that or another type.
HC,
I think you are a brave man to make such assertions. Maybe, just maybe all the Super Puma MGB issues are the symptoms of a more fundamental sickness. If so the regulatory/investigative diagnosis must be absolutely thorough. Otherwise EC will be reaching for the first aid kit when only major surgery will cure this malady. I desperately hope your feelings are based on hard fact not blind faith.
Colibri,
The day they let a pilot design a helicopter gear box is the day I stop sitting in one. Screw threads are for bottle tops, not holding shafts together.
