Cdn driver,

The facts about the S-92 blowing the flotation gears are as follows;

On approach to a rig, the floats inflated when they armed the system. It was not finger trouble by the pilots. It was probably caused by a defect in one of the immersion switches. I know Sikorsky have had quite a few problems with those switches
