All depends on the intended mission. Skycrane is great for heavy lift but sucks for executive transport. EC-135 is great for vip, but sucks for primary training. (Too expensive).R-22 gets the training job done,(barely) but sucks for heavy lift....

Ok, describe the sending signal w/vartoms

Why did D3 go to 5 blades

What is the doc

How many SBs since certification

Leonardo is a euphemism for the second worst EU OEM

They never employ an American CEO

Experience in 24 aircraft makes me an authority

100 hours? 😆

Only thing going for the C2 model is the autopilot makes it a good SPIFR aircraft and it has pretty good fuel range. Cargo space is impressive. HORRIBLE ride in windy or turbulent conditions. Plastic POS everything. Depending on your supplier many parts have to come from Europe so that sux. Horrible preflight hand-hold/steps... makes no sense when they could have designed it like the 135. Stupid Airbus. Stupid latch designs. REALLY stupid compared to MD, Sikorsky, Leonardo, Bell...

Worst 100 hrs in a helicopter ever. Granted, no AC, lowest bidder seating, no FADEC, and REALLY crappy contractor mx (was like a game of where's Waldo every preflight to find what they missed most days).

like Pick=up truck of the sky. But great A/C overall, durable too. I'll still stay W/S76-C, C+C++ models B's had wicked pwr just not the legs.

Go fly an H145 D3, then you'll realize how underpowered the C2 is, and how antiquated the avionics are.
