Bravo and Pitts

The 225 will indeed be back in service quite soon, 3 to 4 months probably. There is big operator pressure from one of them. EC also want it back in srervice. There will be no single fix. There may have to be some other band aids applied.
Giving these briefings that the EC225 will be in the air with whatever bandaids with operator pressure make EC less credible than briefing after the problems are quantified and co-ordinated with a published considered view from the AAIB.

HUMS... Downloads will be 3 hourly.
Why? Whats changed, given current SD's? Either nothing has changed in which case why brief a new 3 hour regime without revision to current safety directives? OR something has changed and the current SD's need updating....

Either way seems pretty grim to brief one thing (which one assumes the basis of which is to minimise risk) and yet allow SD's to reflect something else.
