EC225
 
So the CAA have restricted the use of the EC225, how do the professional test community see the EC225 issues?

I guess in so far as how the issues occured initially and the work needed to get it airbourne again.

I've been following the story on pprune pretty closely, and to me (anyway) it's not clear what the real issue is - it appears it's a main gearbox emergency lube issue related to a main rotor shaft that might have been a different part number than the original certified part.
Once again, failure effects analysis and the like, and the effects of what appears to be a minor change in manufacture turn out to be pretty major!
