Jeffrey,
It appears that a tropical depression is heading in
the direction of LSJ. It has the potential to become a hurricane, it will be
there by Tuesday morning at present speed. I will monitor its progress.
N491GM
Bell 407: Paul Schrader at Bell Helicopter has
informed me that our tail rotor blade that was repaired by Bell Factory
during our last annual inspection may have been repaired improperly. There has
been 3 blade failures in the past 2 months and was determined that one mechanic
employed by Bell was not doing proper installation of bolts with lock tight
sealant causing blades to come apart. We have grounded our Bell 407 at this time
and a Bell mechanic and blade will arrive Saturday on St. Thomas to
replace our blade at Bell's expense.
Paul and Bell Helicopter are embarrassed and
apologize.
