FH110 Pilot,

Don't miss the irony of this statement:

Sikorsky spokesman Paul Jackson said the company demonstrated to the FAA and European regulators that the probability of a leak from the gearbox housing was "extremely remote" and that installation of the bypass valve "addressed the only identified, non-extremely remote possibility for a main gearbox oil leak.
Let's hope it wasn't made after the second 'extremely remote' uncontained loss-of-oil-failure within six months.
