Pitts, set against Bristow's 100,000 hr trouble-free flight time in the EC225, and the detailed investigations culminating in the cleaning and checking for corrosion of the affected areas, and the cockpit MOD45 alarm, just how likely do you think we are to encounter another shaft failure
hence why I said in the post before -

to continue to flying they are making a huge assumption with the MOD45 alarm – especially since all the other measures would suggest if an EC225 has a MOD45 alarm now its likely NOT to be linked to current issues.
and this sounds like press-on-it is

Which is not the same as "land as soon as possible" since the latter puts you on a helideck somewhere in the N Sea - and then what do you do - whereas the former allows you to return to a land airport, hopefully a base with engineering support.
