I am amused by VL's foot shooting where he explains that the S92's pumps are independently driven from the same bevel gear..... Dur ... doesn't that mean that they also have a single failure point - the bevel gear?
They are independently driven from the main bevel gear. If the main bevel gear were to fail then the lack of oil pressure would be the least of your problems - drive from both engines and tail rotor drive would also be lost.... Dur...
