The Eurocopter 225 Glycol system is a loss system. It is only designed to work for 30 minutes at Vy (approximately 70-80 knots) which equates to the minimum horsepower going through the MGB. It did not fail, it did its job and allowed G-REDW go get closer to land. It undoubtedly contributed to the successful ditching.
