That's a fair point Mitchaa, but the petition calls for the EC225 (sic.) to be removed not the AS332L/L1/L2. Just the 225. From memory, before this accident (which I am certain now that you will find is not linked to the L2 break-up - watch this space - Think fwd suspension bar airframe attachment) there have been a ditching due to the oil pump drive shaft fracture and one ditching due to pilot error (ETAP?).

Apart from (most of) the airframe, to all intents and purposes the 225 is a completely different aircraft to the L, L1 and L2.

Unfortunately the public see the airframe and think they are all the same. They are not. Just like a B733 bears little or no relation to a B738.
