Oh hang on a minute ................thats what this thread is actually about.
You must be mistaken!
When asked
"From memory, if pilot action is required "within several seconds" of a system failure, such as a MGB oil pressure loss, isn't that non compliant with Part 29?"
The PM responded on PPRuNe
"And the S-92's oil protection system protected the transmission to the FAR/JAR with such aplomb that we shut the test down at 3 hours, not 30 minutes, with the system still running along (but admittedly pretty close to its end). That is 2 1/2 hours longer than required. The pilot must activate the system, but has several seconds to do so after clear indications, and the checklist does not say "land immediately."
So don't spread any lies
Oh wait, turms out that in NL terms 3 hours becomes 10 minutes.
