I was at a Eurocopter presentation last week and we were told that a 225 gearbox had a 30 min run dry capability. It had been proven by running a geabox drained of oil for 58 minutes, past the 45 minute running time required to prove the 30 minutes. This run dry capability has been banded around enough recently but is the 225 actually certified to be able to use that capability?
