skullcap Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 TQN, thought you would understand, as anyone whom is "consumed" while being "consumed" can't be all bad. sc PS, am NOT trying to make light of this tragedy. Take care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helicopterjim Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 NTSB and the US sytem of accident investigation is by no means better then TSB am afraid. How many accident investigation agencies "allow" the engine from accident machine to go to the engine manufactures for "analysis". You won't see that in Canada. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Really? I guess you havn't had much experience with accident investigation then! Or do I not understand the semantics of your response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skullcap Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 HJ; Been directly involved in investigations on "both" sides of the border, VFR helicopter. Would rather be on the Canadian side and would rather not get into the specifics. But have not seen one engine in Canada taken directly from the crash site to manufacturers for check, usually it will go there in time after the TSB and insurance company have had there way with it. In the US they have an "agreement" with manufacturers to have it sent there directly. They assume there will be no conflict of interest.

Harmonic_Vibe Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 I know the instance that seems to have you worked up Skully and I concur. I had an engine explode and it was sent to the facility that overhauled it for teardown... with a company representative present, along with someone from the manufacturer and a TC guy. I recall that we wanted to have a third party there for the teardown of the engine that you are alluding to and it was specifically denied... which, to this day, strikes me as strange. HV P.S. Your familiar IMHO reminds me of a quote from an unknown source..."He was a humble man... with good reason..." P.P.S. Talk to you in a couple of weeks when I get home...
