"There are many potential sources of metal fragments in a transmission."


What you say is undoubtedly true, however in the case of REDL before it crashed, the particles of metal were detected and identified as coming from the top of the gearbox i.e. the epicyclic reduction stages. Or so I believe.


Again I ask our engineers "Was there any history of the Norwegian EC225 gearbox making metal before the crash, because if not the likelihood of similarity with REDL is probably reduced?"
