The logic is that its a knee jerk reaction, with little to no thought on industry impact, given that it was a blanket grounding of -7 blades.
Say for instance your wok wok was re-equipped with brand new blades last week..and suddenly its grounded?? Cracking is a fatigue issue is it not? Fatigue comes from use.
The AD as presented, from my memory of reading it, made no reference to time in service, it was blanket, regardless of time in service.
I'm just saying it could have been better handled with a Mandatory Service Bulletin with information of the area deemed critical....i.e INTENSE preflight inspection req'd in the area of X from the hub.....
Certain time in life could have been dealt with by the rule of get it to the LAME.
Lots of options available beyond a blanket grounding AD.
You are correct Aldee, a life saved....be a shame if one parted company on the ferry flight.
Cheers Guys
