Nice to hear in church but not in a Mexican prison.

Goes to show that non instruments can become musical in some hands whilst instruments in some other hands can be non musical.

Hmmm, looking at their agenda I think their break is probably their work.

This is going to be a common sight here in Australia with the current government's plan to have us working until we're 70.

How about me.......sitting in a helicopter for 2 hours flying out to the oil rigs I work on. Soon they'll have parking racks for zimmer frames at the side of the helipads on the rigs working in Australian waters. Im 56 and probably already past the sensible age at which you quit this sort of work.

The EC225's we often fly have their main rotor shafts NDT tested every 8 hours flight time. The machines got grounded for 12 months after they had a string of shaft failures and ditchings. Root cause was pinned down to corrosion inside the shaft (it's hollow). The pilots also now have a real time display in the cockpit which monitors shaft vibration. Any increase in same then they have to turn around and get back to land asap.

Yes, I am involved in that inspection. It uses a guided ultrasonic probe to do that one, ridiculous the repeat inspection times, they should just replace all of the housings and get it over and done with.

The end game plan is to replace the shafts but its going to take some time. On my last job we had two EC225s on full rate sitting in the hanger in Broome for 12 months while we were forced to ship in and fly two A320L airframes from the north sea. Both machines had no air conditioning and one of them didnt even have window vents. During the 2 hours trip back into Broome the cabin temp was often nudging high 30's.
