S-92 MGB oil level sensor?
From preliminary reading of the report, it is obvious from CVR data that the flight crew believed that there was still oil in the main gearbox.
This was a crucial factor in their deciding not to attempt a controlled ditching, with all its associated risks.
However, we are also left with the impression that there was no direct indicator of the amount of oil in the MGB, just pressure and temperature.
Obviously, if there were NO oil in the MGB, the oil temp reading was meaningless.
Can someone with knowledge of the type confirm whether or not there is an indicator of oil level in the sump of the S-92 MGB?
It would surely be a relatively simple task to design a sensor for oil level.
