Oops, sorry Ops - I actually meant that the person making the blanket
statement that Australian operators don't record times was wrong. Sorry
got the names a bit mixed!

No I queried the statement below by Chopper Jon2.

The R22 which had a blade failure in Queensland is the one that
comes
to mind which the hours were not recorded correctly and in doing so
the
R22 main rotor blade incurred a fatigue-related in-flight separation
failure. http://tinyurl.com/rkl9

the usa
Pompano Helicopters



I beg your pardon!

And don't just quote one accident report from station properties.

Whats your reasons for the statement?
