So....are we all agreed that upon the first Red Fuel Low Warning Light illuminating in the Glasgow Aircraft that night....the procedure would have been to land within Ten Minutes?
Do we have any indication those particular Warning Lights were NOT working that night?
If those lights illuminated as advertised....and the aircraft flew for Ten more minutes....how much fuel would have been in the Supply Tanks (in Theory)?
Assuming, based upon the lack of comments about any malfunction, or fuel problems/shortage by the Pilot to ATC or Police Ops....are we correct to assume the Fuel Quantity Indication system was operating normally?
We don't know what was told to Police Ops at all do we?
We are beginning to see problems in the EC-135 Fuel System and related systems as shown by all the comments and reports of AAIB testing.
We are having discussions about flying for Ten Minutes after a Fuel Low Warning illuminates, in an aircraft that seems to have Quantity Indication Issues, and a potential problem with confusing Cockpit display of fuel system status when malfunctions occur.
The old time method of calculating fuel quantity, consumption, and determining a finite fuel endurance might not be useful as not all the fuel from the Main Tank might be transferred to the Supply Tanks for use by the Engines.
Y'all really want to fly on into the Supply Tanks a full Ten Minutes past the Fuel Low Warning Light illuminating? Really?
You think that is a sound practice....one that errs on the side of Safety to the avoidance of unnecessary risk? Really?
