So here we are, 5 weeks or so after the crash. Suggestions coming out of AAIBN about metal fatigue in a planet gear even though the proper metallurgical examination has not been carried out yet. All clever and tricky stuff.
And yet on some of the basics such as the maintenance history, component hours, history of HUMS data, in fact anything that could reflect on things Norwegian, they are strangely silent even though this info must surely be readily available just a day or two after the accident. Why the secrecy? Is there a rat to be smelled out?
