Most commercial airlines (minus Aeroflot and Air India etc) triple check repairs/upgrades etc. It is not common practice amongst charter airlines, and they don't have the same congruence of skilled staff in the way that large commercial airlines do.

Based on what evidence?

Not worth listening to?

So, what's your evidence Lucy? Did I miss it in the thread?

At least when I asserted one thing in response to your other wonderfully thought out idea, I had the evidence, from their own website (it's OK, there's no need to apologise, either). So, where's yours for this libellous post?

I do know that the guy involved didn't buy his replacement blades from Robinson.

So, theoretically the engineer knowingly fitted dodgy parts and some other git gave it an airworthiness certificate...

Like I say, that doesn't feel right, either the system allows dodgy parts, yet gets upset over pilots having a jar or two, or these parts aren't really all that dodgy...

[Churchill]

So for really really important jesus-bolt type parts, you're telling me there's no chain of custody from conception to abortion? That sounds more than a little slap-happy when they get all upset over a pilot having had a drinky or two.

Or could it be that when one of these blades de-laminate in flight the manufacturer goes like, oh gosh, that one was fake (all the while having their fingers crossed behind their backs).

You are quite correct, there are serial numbers on the parts. Even the fake ones.

Btw, we're not talking CDs, we're talking anti-torque rotor blades that de-laminate in flight!

Oh my gawd, not another one who's fallen for that "Copying CDs aids terrorists" bollox.

So someone uses a halfords 5p fuse instead of a boeing $50 one, yeah, that makes an aircraft un-airworthy.

Oh, and now you're going to say they counterfeit turbine blades? Well, exsqueeze me, but they have, and always have had, serial numbers, so they can, and have always been, able to be traced back. So if there are 'counterfeit' parts, it's the manufacturers who are aiding and abetting it.

Oi Lucy, you asked me about my aviation experience.

I wasn't being boastful, merely putting you in your place.

Btw, your assertion regarding quality of maintenance is bollocks, the biggest threat to aviation safety at the moment isn't the quality of maintenance, it's actually counterfeit parts.

That absolutely facinating.

Now would you like to dispute my assertation, given you have so much experience. Do you really think there is a difference between how commercial and private jets are maintained - see my previous post.

Or I guess you could go on insulting me and making offensive and spiteful remarks. Actually, you know what, don't worry, I don't think you are capable of anything else (other than being really boastful on this board)

Btw Lucy, just 'coz you gave some jet jockey a blow job doesn't mean you're an expert on matters aviation.

Your previous post claimed that charter aircraft, Air India and Aeroflot have inferior maintenance compared with some other commercial airlines.
That is a contentious (not to mention libellous) statement.
So you should provide evidence. Please do so.

This should be good

I've got a PPL(H) with type ratings on R22, R44, Hughes 500(+NOTAR) and Jet (+Long)Ranger.

I passed my test in 1998 (first time) so this year will have had 10 years experience as a qualified pilot.

I currently have 700+ hours PIC.

If you were my friend on Facebook then you could see some piccies of what I fly.

Thanks for asking Btw.

She's never heard of the FAA, CAA and JAR.

Btw Lucy, just 'coz you gave some jet jockey a blow job doesn't mean you're an expert on matters aviation.

I blame Always. Since they added wings, everyone's a pilot.

[Churchill]

You really are a cretin aren't you? That, or a very good bot.

Now tell us about your experience as a pilot.

I've put in about six hours on Microsoft Flight 92. Oh, and about 20 hours on Mig-29 Combat.

An expert then, eh?
