Elvis Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Does this mean that a Canadian operator on the east or west coast should be nervous? :elvis: :elvis: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTD Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 I don't know, I'm speculating since there seems to be a virtual 100% concentration in a very small geographic region - one with warm salty air, and aircraft that fly over it all day every day, and the problem is with an electrical component in many of these accidents. I haven't seen or heard anything official or otherwise that makes this connection, but if I were the investigator, I'd have one eyebrow raised about now. As for the guys in th east and west of Canada - anyone flying a helicopter should be nervous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
407 Driver Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Thanks for the update MAG, I was aware of that incident. I have heard nothing as to the cause through my sources, but I will let you know if I hear anything. The good news, all passengers and crew are OK.

VERTICAL REF Posted November 21, 2003 Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 The only reason there is a 1200 hour/24 month time life on TT straps is due to PHI and the gulf...CTD is exactly correct on the "Salt" thing! 407 if you missed the 42 degree gearbox on your DI then yours strapping on the wrong ride! hehehe. Any aircraft that the m/r overpowers the hydraulic system or chopps its own tail off I personally would stay away from! Let me know when the spotted owls are getting out of hand over there again and we'll clean i'm out fur ya! Have fun in the snow mate! Cheers!

407 Driver Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 ...hasn't been a Spotted Owl sighted here in years V-Ref, you and your 204.5 took care of allmost all of the available habitat last time you passed through, then your partners burned up the rest. We could use some beer in the fridge, send Bob down, or at least his new credit card. He finally reported the card that we took last summer stolen, so we can't use it anymore.

VERTICAL REF Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 ...the sound of life... weather the rotor system is integral to the aircraft or off doing its own thing, it still makes that same sound... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heli Ops Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 CTD - Do PHI have any more 407s left as they have been sinking quite a few over the past couple of years. Heli Ops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
