Sundance Helicopters, a Tour Operator in the Las Vegas NV area, lost an aircraft and all aboard when a bolt fell from the Fore/Aft Cyclic Flight Control Linkage with the cause being attributed to the Re-Use of a Self Locking Nut and the absence of a Cotter Pin.
How well is your Helicopter preflighted.....and does your maintenance providers re-use Self Locking Nuts?
