Yep, good point skadi

"The Warning Unit has provided information on the order in which warnings were triggered during the flight but not when they occurred. The unit recorded the normal warnings associated with starting the helicopter, followed by a warning free status. It subsequently recorded intermittent LOW FUEL 1 warnings for the left fuel supply tank, then a permanent LOW FUEL 2 warning for the right fuel supply tank. This was followed by a further temporary LOW FUEL 1 warning, before it became permanent for the remainder of the flight.
An alarm gong was also recorded followed by intermittent warnings relating to low rotor rpm. The penultimate warning recorded related to the battery discharging, which occurs when there is insufficient engine-driven generator power. The last warning related to an autopilot system failure."
