Robinson Helicopter Company is under fire as another R44 accident occurred in a Southwest Miami-Dade parking lot, killing its two passengers. The helicopter company has a devastating past that prompted the manufacturer to issue an order to fix the fuel tanks. "The existing tank is dangerously defective because when you have a crash the system, basically, brakes apart and can puncture the tank, which is unprotected by any fuel bladder or casing," says Ronald Goldman, a Los Angeles based aviation attorney who has filed numerous lawsuits involving Robinson helicopters. Robinson helicopters issued a retro-fit order to make the fuel tanks stronger, but owners have until April 30, 2013 to comply. It's not known at this time if the helicopter involved in this crash near Tamiami Airport had its fuel tank re-trofitted.
We are deeply disappointed that Robinson Helicopter Company put the burden on its customers to pay for the retrofit of its fuel system, rather than shouldering the expense of fixing its own design errors.
