The word around about the engine out was that a fuel valve leaked, and in a suction system, air flowed in and cause the engine to quit. Had it been a conventional fuel system with boost pumps, fuel would have been leaking into the cabin, with the possibility fo fire. Basically, the system worked as it should
Nick, so the 92 hasn't got any fuel pump apart from the engine driven suction pump?
I would like to hear from you about the fuel system, or if you can point to an on-line document, because the only two turbine engine helos I've flown have boost pumps and I it's pretty strange to me your comments about a new helo like the 92 without boost pumps.
It's a possible fuel leak in the fuel valve the only reason?
Don't you have altitude limitations to fly without boost pumps (like bell-206,bell-412)?
Thanks.
