All craft in the SJL fleet fitted with Hamilton 212 units have steering stops installed. The company notes however that steering stops are not a good long-term engineering solution to this problem. Steering stops rely on being correctly set to be effective and are an added complexity that only partially solves the problem. A better solution is to re-engineer the complete steering system. SJL notes the new system described in its submission [on safety recommendation 068/00].
