Yeah, but the absence of any grease at all in the coupling, even if the seal was stuffed, would not yield any clue to the pilot that there was no grease in the coupling. Meaning the coupling was assembled without any grease. Hard to believe I know, but it wouldn't be the first time (I've seen a B212 ET drive shaft fitted without any grease in the coupling, it lasted for only the post-maintenance ground run before it turned kamikaze on itself).

I thought I read he was an ex-army Black Hawk pilot, so flying a B206 is probably a big step down from what he was used to.

This link brings me to a "docket". What is the link for the actual "Final Report"?

All I could find by searching the web was a "full narrative" https://www.ntsb.gov/news/press-rele...16FA072&akey=1. No mention of Telatemp stickers in here though.

Just to throw a bit more Monday morning umpiring into the equation: no floats on a Jettie carrying pax on extended overwater ops. Really?

John, if you do not know what you are talking about just keep your comments to yourself be it any day of the week.....

Please tell me where there is anything in the first sentence that you quoted which has been proven incorrect? The second sentence was, as stated, a bit of Monday morning umpiring made two years ago.

Your superior knowledge in this matter is welcome if you have anything to contribute

This is all I could find. A 4 page summary.
