Is it not the case however that the S-92 was never proven to meet these requirements ? I'm sure that was the original plan, but when testing proved that it didn't meet the spec, they were able to certify the aircraft without the dry running ability under the 'Unless such failures are extremely remote" loophole.

So whilst these definitions are clear and seemingly well thought out, the S-92 was able to get certified without meeting them.
