I have to admit that the PAD issued by EASA got me a little bit confused.
Talking about the SB for the fuel bladder tank to my local aviation authority about a year ago they told me that neither them nor the EASA saw any use in turning it into an AD. One year later they suddenly do.
Can somebody please enlighten me how the fuel bladder is attached / installed in the tank. I heard that it's not completly attached to the tank but only at the filler neck and that there have been the first reported cracks on the neck.
What about all those other helicopter in the world flying around without fuel bladder tanks? Our H300 doesn't have one either. Will we have to replace those tanks as well pretty soon?
