## Discrepancy

THE HELICOPTER WAS IN CRUISE FLIGHT AND THE VSCS ADAPTER BROKE IN TWO.  THIS CAUSED THE A CONTROL PROBLEM WITH THE HELICOPTER UNTIL IT SLOWED BELOW 100 KTS. THE AIRCRAFT CAME BACK TO THE AIRPORT AND LANDED WITH NO PROBLEMS.  THERE IS NOW A NEW AD ON THIS MATTER.  (SEE AD2008-22-53).
