Re: Duct tape repair of delaminating helicopter rotor blade

This has GOT to be a violation of FAA rules, and should probably result in

immediate suspension of their operating license and the pilot's license.

Using duct tape to repair a rotor would seem to me to be a violation of FAA

rules. Any A & P mechanics out there?

Dr. Bledsoe,

I feel sure that you must be very confident in the source of behind this story

or I know as much as you preach about having proof of something's worth you

would never have forwarded it. If I may can I request you send a copy of the

picture after the duct tape was applied and the aircraft is ready to take off.

As an employee of Air Evac Lifeteam I find it very discouraging that someone

like yourself who I've always had the utmost respect for would send something

like that to a list serve unless you were absolutely sure that its true.

Sincerely,

Mark

Mark:

While we're waiting for an answer from the source, I called a friend of mine

at Bell Helicopter here in Fort Worth (a long-time Bell test pilot) who said

the following. If there was enough of a problem concerning the integrity of

the rotor to force an emeregncy landing, the only acceptable alternative

would be to trailer the aircraft to a certified Bell repair facility where

the rotors could be inspected, tested, and replaced. That then leaves the

question:

1. Did an A & P mechanic come to the scene and do the study and certify

the aircraft as airworthy?

2. Was the emergency landing a precaution and no problem found?

3. Was the witness (a county Coroner) lying?

4. Was an incident report filed?

5. Did the event happen as reported?

I have to say, if I were on that flight, it would have started back to

Nashville less 1 paramedic.

I would be learning everything I needed to know about the Amish, while

waiting for the bus to arrive to take me home.

Even if it's not true, Dr. Bledsoe posted it and something should be done

about it! In fact, I think that the FAA should ban all aircraft of any type

from flying in or through Kentucky!
