Families of passengers on downed Chicago chopper 'voluntarily discontinue' lawsuit

By Michael Tutton (CP) – 4 hours ago

But the defendants decided to "deceptively argue" that the 30-minute so-called run dry requirement was "so extremely remote" that the S-92 could be exempted from that FAA provision, the Chicago aviation lawyer alleged.

Allegations made in the complaint have not been proven in court and the defendants have yet to file a response.

A spokesman for Sikorsky declined comment Tuesday.

The lawsuit has also been filed against Keystone because the complaint says the company completed the final assembly and finishing of the helicopter at its plant in Pennsylvania.
