I should have made it clear that if the AAIB determine there is an
issue affecting _all_ Europas, I would expect a fix to be promulgated.
However, if the AAIB determine that this is a one-off affecting only
this aircraft, no such general action should be expected. The length
of time since the incident wthout any pronouncement from the AAIB
does at least seem to indicate that they have not concluded urgent
action is needed.
I'm beginning to regret mentioning this - I was only intending to
draw attention to one other thing that might arise to be done before
the fuselage top goes on, knowing how awkward it is to get at stuff
down the back once the lid is down.
regards
Rowland
