What do you mean?
It is highly unclear if gearbox is changed or not
Media reported it was changed. Was it?
Fatigue cracks in a 1 month old gearbox?
I guess we will know when the final AIBN report is released.
Until then, if you are interested in understanding the root cause
of the breakdown incident, to me its not irrelevant.
