Level sensors would be very difficult in a helicopter MGB. Flow sensors are easier but more difficult to interpret. After 6 years Sikorsky are introducing these to detect if a pump has failed.

It would be better to introduce an emergency lube system. I had hoped this would be one of the actions Sikorsky were taking.

It looks like our recent discussion on oil temperature has been validated. Odd TC asked for oil temperature in the FM.

Yes. It is now clear that the bypass system and the 'extremely remote' loophole were last minute afterthoughts - as some of us here have said - and this explains the delayed EASA certification.

I noticed the social media comments. Some people can at least feel their efforts to shed light on the S-92 MGB and challenge the hype have been recognised.
