Sikorsky taking the lead from Airbus?
Anyway: Thumbs up!
That is the right approach to be rather cautious than sorry! It won't have too much impact to do these inspections and it makes sure a potentially preventable accident does not occur. That is exactly the pro- active approaching of a known issue that Airbus/EC should have done after the first occurance of each - the Rotor separation and the bevel gear shaft. Would have saved a number of Lives and them an economic disaster.
