rigor of themselves. For this AD they didn't provide one shred of
concrete engineering evidence. When I asked where's the research the
non-response I got was "how many more people have to die". No kidding
that's what the FAA said to me. Can you believe that? How ridiculous.
There's something very wrong going on here.

Perhaps ask them the Tail number of the helicopter in the US that
crashed due to blade failure because of this cause. I have looked at
a lot of, but not all, NTSB reports on R22 crashes. To date, I have
never seen a case where a blade was thrown from an R22 without hitting
something first.

That really sucks that they would do that. Maybe someone at the FAA
is getting kickbacks from RHC? What a windfall? Is there any way to
check to see who at the FAA owns stock in RHC? Is RHC publicly
traded? Maybe you can request this under fredom of information?

From what I have been told, only certain serial numbers have to be
changed at 10 years. If you are not on the list, you're OK.
