If you read in depth, you’ll find that they had problems with the fuel flow sensor.
They complained and the powers that be gave them a new flowmeter which they were told was ‘OK’, but they’d have to apply an offset.
That already tells you the calibration was probably shifting.
Finding a good flowmeter that’s repeatable, holds a calibration and is reliable is tough.
Been there, done that. If there was one, we’d be using it to measure hydraulic fluid flow.
We do it, but the flowmeters are a giant PITA…. and not that accurate, either.
Whether RB was ‘legal’ or not, I don’t know… I just know flowmeters are a pain.
FWIW,
Kirby
