1/ Apparently doesn't meet the "run dry" capability as has been proven in the field and by FAA testing.
2/ Starting to prove that it doesn't meet the remaining criteria for improbability?
So what's the process for kicking off a review if indeed events are showing certification criteria for probability of an in flight failure are indeed not being met? Presumably that would be the governmental body that originally certified the aircraft? What actually triggers such a review? ( or do a crew and passengers have to lose their lives before someone starts a review? ) Any chance Sikorsky is working in the background to do a true run dry design, in anticipation that someone might try to ground their aircraft? Serious question despite my somewhat snarky parenthetical remark...
