The 225 certainly appears to have a design flaw in its epicyclic gearbox but don't hold the S 92 up as a paragon of virtue.
Maybe not a paragon of virtue Crab but since that horrible event, the S-92 fleet has flown 700,000 hours and managed to keep ts oil in its box where it belongs. Total fleet hours on the S-92 are now around 1 million.
My passengers yesterday very happy to be in a 92 and not a 225 or any Puma variant. The dislike of the Super Puma fleet has been going in since before the REDL and the 225 ditchings / fatal accident. Passengers have never liked flying in them. In spite of the window size, they have always felt claustrophobic and unsafe.
Its a sad indictment on our industry that the helicopter operators have been so poor at communicating the safety record.
