Is this on multi-engine aircraft or on singles as well.

Haven't seen the AD yet - does this include C-28s, C-30s?

How is it we fly the darned things for 40 years and suddenly they need an explosion ring?

Why if the previous product was defective don't they have to fix it as in the recall on a car???

Don't bother to respond I know the answer - still PO's me however!

This is similar to 2002-14-26 on Turbomecas !

This modification is made up of 3 CEB's and they have been around for over a year. Machining/rework and a replacement 1st stage housing is required. Straight C20 turbines need another CEB completed and they become a C20B turbine. Add another $15-20K to a C20B 4-wheel overhaul and $35-40K for a straight C20 4-wheel overhaul. :hide:

Well they finally did it. :shock: They've been threatening this for the last couple of years. This may discourage the $650.00 hr. Jet Ranger operations.

If so then BC's economy might finally pass that of Alberta.
