The level of maintenance seems to be very poor to say the least
And as Chopjock
& Wageslave say, No disrespect to the pilot, but how did it go on so long

86. Crew Duties
The pilot in command is responsible for all aspects of mission planning

preflight and operation of the helicopter. He will assign duties and functions to
all other crew members as required. Prior to or during preflight the pilot will brief
the crew on the mission performance data procedures taxi and load operations.

8-17. Area 4.
*1. Tail rotor gearboxes (90 and 42 degrees)Check general condition, oil levels, filler caps secure.
I am sure we all overlook something on occasions but no\low oil in both boxes ?
