The comment on the shock load inspection is an interesting one. I spoke to an aircraft spares breaker selling an engine from an R22 which rolled over on takeoff, he said that the engine did not require a shock load inspection as the belt drive system would "give" and therefore no shock load. I pointed out that in that case the engine would almost certainly have suffered an overspeed and would still require stripping. Silence!!!!!

As for things being better in EASA land this report from page 76 onwards is food for thought
