The last statement is very interesting. Does anyone know if all the safety recommendations have been satisfactory actioned and closed? To my knowledge, they did not change the design, and the monitoring systems have remained the same after the 2009 accident.
Not only the design of planetary gearing and monitoring systems but also Safety Recommendations 2011-045 and 2011-046 concerning the use of g-switches which can lead to the premature removal of power to CVFDR systems. I do not think the cessation of recording on the 2009 accident has actually been satisfactorily explained.
