js - Sikorsky brought the prototype S92 to a fancy hotel just out of Aberdeen, everyone invited with lots of free food and drink if you listened to the presentation by one Nick Lappos. I recall it was a well attended do with a very believable presentation from NL, and it certainly mentioned 30 mins dry running time.
How about this press release?

You can argue that it says "loss of oil", not "total loss of oil" but to say that it can fly for 30 mins following " a loss of a little bit of oil" is a pointless claim. I seems to me there was clearly an intent to mislead.
JD - surely the tests you mention must have been done before certification was awarded by FAA?
