Hi All

If you have a MGB Chip, follow the CL.

If you have secondary indications, ie. Hi temp, Low Oil pressure, Land/Ditch Immediately!

A dry MGB on any type is not good news. Whether you fly an R22 or an S61 this is not good.

I know a guy who flew a 212 to a container ship with all of the above and was lucky to land. He said in the future after seeing the damage, he would ditch.

An S76 recently had a chip followed by Hi Temp+ Low (0) oil pressure and flew about 50 miles and landed safely. The damage to the MGB was catastrophic.

So use your own judgement. Me, I would ditch with a secondary indication.

Cheers,
