Heli,
The fact is the 225 has a lot more than one problem. One problem would be no issue in the 225 design, two+ resulted in two ditchings.
SAS
If the Aussie S-92 had ditched instead of landing on solid ground for the same failure it is doubtful that Newfoundland would have happened. So "any we are better than you" is BS.
All,
The Bell 429 main transmission ran 4+ hours in the same basic test the 92 failed in 12 minutes with no backup lube system (high torque and everything else).
