Hi Mod
Look I realize you have a very serious Gestapo like job to perform on this pilots engineers crewies rumour network but why moderate my last spiel because of the perceived imminent threat from the Feds? Call me naive but I wld be surprised if the department uses a social rumour network to give them reason to leave the comfort of their offices and expose themselves to a dose of reality (blah blah)
I'd say that yes, you are naive: or deliberately spiteful. Your attempt to create trouble for another pilot was just that, and if seen by the CAA NZ it would result in Rotorheads being involved in your stirring. No doubt you may be immensely proud to create trouble for another pilot, unrelated to this thread and the Bo105?
It is something we don't condone, be it NZ, USA, Australia or UK

As far as I can glean this mystery incident with the Bo105; was in actual fact an amber light for a possible fuel pump fault on the BK117 which was working at Stockton around that time.

Is a fuel pump light even an emergency in a BK? Don't fly them, so I don't know. And was it a boost pump, or engine fuel pump. In some machines boost pumps aren't even needed until you get up in altitude, like 8-10,000', so if the boost pump fails, makes noise, whatever, you just pull the fuse and keep flying, or some guys don't even use them at all...

We have gone a long way off the OP's request for info on the HeliPro Bo105, haven't we?

Quite correct John,
Me thinks Granny was on a bit of a fishing expedition, and the type rating pretence was bait for the hook....
Is semirigid rowing the boat???....with one paddle perhaps...
Must be quiet in PNG....

Nothing wrong with a bit of fishing is there 
Thanks for the info John.
So what happened, a fuel light, or boost pump light came on, big woop, anyone that hasn't had a caution light come on hasn't done much flying.

Fuel light BK117 was not noticed & both engines eventually flamed out. Helicopter made it to the ground but landed heavily when second engine quit. Lucky it was at Stockton and not over bush.

Accident/incident.
Still, going by other posts on here "Fuel light BK117 was not noticed & both engines eventually flamed out. Helicopter made it to the ground but landed heavily when second engine quit. "
Wouldn't that make it reportable?
Just saying, never saw anything on the caa website. (unless I missed it
)
