Crashed due to fracture of a tail rotor blade. The accident investigation revealed incidences of delamination in the blade and static overloading of the main spar. Eurocopter believes that the blade fracture occurred because, over a period of time, the blade experienced delamination that exceeded the maximum permitted area. The relevant type of blade was removed from service in compliance with Eurocopter Service Letter no. 1558-64-02, dated 13 May 2002. In addition, the interval between each “tapping test” was reduced in compliance with Eurocopter Alert Telex T.F.S. No. 77, dated 10 July 2002.
