You really are desperate for the 225 to be killed off, aren't you. I wonder why? This is the first fatal accident on a 225. There will be fatal accidents on 189s, on the 175, more on the S92. It's funny how you weren't clamouring for the S92 to be killed off after its fatal crash. Biased, by any chance?
We are focussing on the technical failings of the 225 here buts let's not forget that from an operational point of view the safety is superb, by which I mean no conflict between fuel and payload, and a fantastic autopilot /MMI that protects the pilots from their own incompetence in a way that the S92 most certainly doesn't. There have been a number of pilot induced near-miss crashes on the 92 and in all probability there will be an actual one at some point. What then? Will you be desperate for it too to be pensioned off?
Do tell us what your (not so) hidden agenda is.
