All of a sudden, the S-92 has “interim” gear boxes?

They still crack – do they have run-dry capability yet?
What about the military version Canada bought which must have run dry?

Lots of recent coverage about ongoing problems with the S-92 main gear box and transmission housings – apparently with no end in sight.

John Croft at Flight Global cites the latest EASA and FAA emergency airworthiness directives:
“This new housing configuration is added to the applicability of this AD because it is prone to the same cracks as the [main gearbox] listed in the current AD”
