Megan, sometimes I don't conmunicate entirely effectively so I can see how you may have thought I was replying directly back to you as such. My response was more for others reading your post about what I had said. Some people may have believed what I had previously stated, which you had mentioned, could be me inferring a causal factor.
I think you and I are understanding each other though.
FGD, whilst maintenance was obvious in the Blackbushe and Wichita accidents, as I'm no doubt sure you'd know the frictions could be adjusted for other reasons (another pilot flew the aircraft previously for example).
