The "no oil" capabilities of the 60 was in the Army -10 in 2007. Dont know what it says currently.
Remembering back to 2007 I recall that anytime a transmission oil pressure low situation was introduced in the 60 simulator, the following would happen. Oil px low light, rapidly followed by: TX Oil hot, multiple chip lights then within approx 2 minutes horrible noise and general breakdown.
I dont know if the simulator software is based on manufacturers (Sikorsky) data from tests, or if it is programmed according to the Armys own experiences with gearbox problems. Anyhow I think the message the Army is giving its aviators both in emergency drills and simulator use is: Anytime you have main transmission issues....land without delay!
It would be very interesting to know what the Navy an AF says for the same gearbox related malfunctions in the HH-60. The Army in most cases operate over Terra Firma vs Navy blue water ops (offshore) considerations.
