Grounding[edit]

In Aerei magazine N.25 gen-feb 2005, in news section, it is stated that: Cormorant activity was stopped for the third time -except emergency SAR activity. It is also complained that EH101 should required 7 h work/fly hour. Instead, it showed requested well 22 h maintenance for every fly hour. This could affected the sobstitution program for SH-3, in that time S-92 helicopter won the race. So in every case, i said this before post it, but this is a detailed description overall, and so it should be mentioned.--Stefanomencarelli 15:23, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This post is identical to another in Talk:AgustaWestland EH101 which I commented there. --EH101 21:27, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There have been numerous problems with the CH-149 and periods of fleet-wide grounding. I mentioned in an earlier revision:

"Throughout its service, the EH101 and its variants have been plagued by tail rotor hub cracking issues. A British Merlin EH101 crashed on March 30, 2004 due to tail rotor hub cracking. The CH-149 Cormorant has been grounded/limited flight status multiple times with these cracks being one of the causes; all 15 aircraft in Canadian inventory showed cracks of varying degrees shortly after entry into service in 2004.[1] Subsequent re-engineering by AugustaWestland resulted in newer hubs in 2005. Out of the 6 aircraft which had the new hubs installed, 3 showed cracking one month later.[2]"

Both sources are english sources stating similar information. --Cefoskey 21:27, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This close quite well the circle, and displays that Cormorant troubles (almost totally ignored here in Italy) are reals and serious, if not even improved models seems to have solved totally this hub issue. Thank you v.m. for this info and sources. --Stefanomencarelli 22:56, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, "no source to back up that statement"?? Check the Wikipedia article on the Canadian forces. There are 0 in service.99.245.11.41 (talk) 11:13, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's a completely different helicopter. The Italian-built CH-149 Cormorant is not the USA-built CH-148 Cyclone - they serve in different roles, procured at different times, and were build and designed on different continents - they're as different as different can be.

Yes, that's correct. That is reflected in the article.99.245.11.41 (talk) 02:28, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No fuel at Hibernia[edit]

according to a joint national geographic/ canadian documentary aired last night on current tv,the 103 squadron rescue flight in 2003 was waved off from the hibernia platform as they had no avgas. they subsequently refueled at a smaller floating platform 35 km distant with attending loss of time and operational difficulties. unfortunately, i can't access the 103 squadron history at the candian forces website, another problem since it is the article's only reference for this episode.
