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://www.atsb.gov.au/aviation/occu...ail.cfm?ID=294

I beg your pardon!

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

Whats your reasons for the statement?
