From Eurocopter:
Quote:
nk system of the worldwide EC135 fleet continue. As of today, 264 sensors have been tested. Of these, 12 needed to be cleaned but were fully functional afterwards, while two failed and needed to be replaced.
What is the testing procedure?
Did the 12 sensors referred to above also initially fail?
If so were they in situ or on the test bench?

Mickjoebill, Very good point. Eurocopter also fail to mention if any of the aircraft concerned had more than one dirty or failed sensors. Potentially there could have been two aircraft, each with all six fuel sensors working incorrectly until after the sensors had been cleaned.
Likewise, by how much did the condition of the cleaned and re-used sensors differ from that of the two that were scrapped?
