A post by Brilliant Stuff on the EC135 threat told us that during testing for the ASB one aircraft drained the main tanks to an indicated 12Kg (Xfer pumps off) before the supply tanks started to drop, as all 135 tanks are built the same surely this shows that the main tank indicating system can under read, the ASB highlights issues with the supply tanks over reading.

What I'm saying is it can't be ruled out that he was seeing 47/12/43, knowing he was close to his min landing fuel he would have been planning to return to base, possibly during the last task, this fuel qty would also not be to far off what he expected to have then the reds start showing up, still with the same 47/12/43 indications.

Trying to figure out what is going on, why the Reds are on, then one engine quits, I can understand why the primes may have been accidentally switched on, that's a huge workload to deal with.

As said many times previously, he had enough fuel just not in the right place, and maybe he was being shown it was!

Thoughts?
