Hi all,
Pretty much every aircraft with composite structures have suffered failures in the past and will continue to do so, just like metal aircraft. They are inspected regularly and grounded if need be. The Dauphins also had cracks showing up in the tailboom and probably have an inspection programme.
regards
GttC

Pure hover.
Ya why not open that thread, but no one in Ireland is operating the s92 yet so I do not think the local information on this type of aircraft would be available yet.. Good to see you back..Although I have walked in the valley of the shadows of death I fear no evil...

Define an incident in the df. I think you will find the AAIU stands for air accident investigation unit. It is a legal requirement for the AAIU to investigate all air accidents in Ireland not the df to submit reports. An incident in the real world would be something quite small not an accident which is on the other end of the scale. That's my point.Although I have walked in the valley of the shadows of death I fear no evil...

Ah I know jobs for the boys and all that. Do the air corps flight safety unit ever publish the incidents they have the the civil world? Our does it just stay in house?? As I have found knowledge of what's happening around the world is all food for thought.Although I have walked in the valley of the shadows of death I fear no evil...

What's your point?

I know what an incident is. For example the AAIU provided a report some years ago on the sudden loss of altitude of the GASU squirrel, during the visit of Hillary clinton.
The GASU heli is as you know, operated by the Air Corps.
Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.
