I accept this recommendation; I will initiate a review of Rule Part 43.113, duplicate inspection of controls. This review will examine the need for duplicate inspection of vital points in an aircraft, that if they were to fail would have a catastrophic effect on the flight. Helicopter tail rotor drive trains will be considered as part of this review.

The review will be completed by 31 March 2003 however no final date for any action arising from the review can be stated.
