It is pretty clear from the history on PPRuNe Rotorheads forum that the Sultan works for (or worked for) Bell. But that doesn't matter, as each voice on the internet adds to the great cacophony we have come to love so well, so well, so well.

So it's up against the wall, Rotor Headers
Rotors ... spin round the head so well (So well, So well)
It's a four per rev as long as we have got the donks
It's an auto otherwise
Which ain't so swell.


R, is for the Rotor on my Helimacopter
O, is for the oil that keeps her in the air
T is for torque
O is for "Omigod what the heck was that?"
(finally) and
R, is for RPM, about which I deeply care.

So it's up against the wall, Rotor Headers ...


(Apologies to Merle Haggard for that spoof there. I just now realized that rotor is a palindrome. It took how many years?)

On a more serious note, the FAA has spoken.
FAA’s Determination
These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of France and are approved
for operation in the United States. Pursuant to our bilateral agreement with France, EASA, its
technical representative, has notified us of the unsafe condition described in the EASA Emergency
AD. We are issuing this Emergency AD because we evaluated all information provided by EASA
and determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other helicopters of
these same type designs.
