RVDT:
I guess you're just the type I was trying to describe, perhaps.
Green: Hello is that airworthiness, Eurocopter?
Eurocopter: Yes.
Green I am license number and approval number ^&89($%.
Eurocopter: And?
Green: I just clacked a blade in the boondocks and repaired it i.a.w. BCAR A3-25 sub section 3(b).
Eurocopter: Did you cure it for the full 12 hours?
Green:Ah, yes, sure did.
Eurocopter: Did you check for creep beyond 13mm on the number 2 and 3 TR bearings?
Green: Yes.
Eurocopter: Did you check for delamination of the Thomas Couplings?
Green: Didn't need to, the trailing edge split was only 15cm long. And it impacted 30cm inboard of the static tip.
Eurocopter: OK, you'll need a duplicate inspection, I'm afraid.
Green: Done that - it's my wife with approval number: $$4%66&.
Eurocopter: Send a picture?
Green: Can't - don't have a signal.
Eurocopter: Not to worry, do it when you get home.
Green: Cheers guys.
Like other posts have SHOWN and SAID (since your last post) RVDT - truth is stranger than fiction.
Now what was that bit about the sacrifical strip lifting?
Bull****: "You have control".
