Even if the CPDS was faulty, it still is not possible for it to display (or not display) any set of conditions which would justify staying airborne. Edit - During the long leg from Dalkeith to Bothwell it would have been checked many times and any inconsistent behaviour noted.
Two questions not answered:
At 2218 was the task completed or was it terminated?
Do EC135 pilots wear gloves?
