On 20 October 2020, the crew of a Sikorsky S92A en-route overwater to an offshore oilfield southwest of Stavanger received an engine 1 fire warning and responded by shutting down the engine and declaring a MAYDAY without taking the recommended steps to see if any evidence of an actual fire was available. They were aware that false engine fire warnings on this helicopter type had become a fairly regular occurrence and when the warning persisted, they restarted the engine which ran normally. The flight was completed and made an uneventful landing on a platform close to the originally planned one.
