So the S-92 has no run dry capability, and the AW101 does have.
But that's ok, because the chances of needing it were so remote....
How many times has it happened or nearly happened now?
I wonder whether any of those who took such glee in proclaiming the S-92 to be so much 'safer' than the Merlin, and who went to such lengths to bang on and on about how the S-92 met later, more demanding, certification standards will have the grace and humility to apologise?
The noise and hysteria about this supposedly greater safety gave the S-92 a crucial edge at a critical time, and with a more honest assessment, maybe the civil Heliliner would have happened.
There must be many who'd now be happy to see a three-engined, low vibration, quiet roomy and safe helicopter (with demonstrated 30 minute run dry capability) in service offshore.
