Aircraft
On departure the Number 1 ENG FAIL light illuminated on the CAD and VEMD with no supporting indications of an engine failure. This was a repeat of symptoms that I experienced in this airframe two days ago. I was enroute to home base; severe thunderstorms were expected in the vicinity and there was no means of getting the aircraft under cover at [destination] so I elected to continue. On approach to the hospital the lights extinguished. Aircraft secured; fault written up in logbook and Maintenance alerted. [We] provided Maintenance with observations from this event that differed from my previous event to assist with troubleshooting.
Eurocopter pilot reported Number 1 ENG FAIL light illuminated with no corroborating indications; so he continued to destination. Reporter stated he had seen this same false indication on this aircraft previously.
