HC
I'm not trying to make "my case more convincing".
I'm trying to point out there have been several unexplained* catastrophic failures# of the same component which is fitted to L2 and EC225 model helicopters (a component type not fitted to L or L1 models).
I'm unaware of similar component failures# in S92 aircraft. I'm genuinely asking if there have been any.
HC, are you saying components shared between Blackhawks and S92s have failed giving all on board no chance of survival?
Just to be clear. I'm not saying any type of helicopter is statistically less safe than any other.
I guess, like most pilots, I can accept the risk of being killed or worse, by something that couldn't be foreseen. But am mortified at the thought of getting back in an EC225 and having the rotor system detach. Which is a twice proven possibility.
*Considered unexplained, let alone rectified, by most in the aviation community, includeding several aviation authorities.
#Failures which kill all on board despite any level of pilot intervention or "luck".
