Sasless,

Yep, that's the competition. Read carefully, however! Only the IFR certificate meets the JAR, meaning the autopilot and displays. The rest of the aircraft was not qualified to meet the latest regs regarding its structure, but rather it meets the older DGAC requirements.

Here is the JAR website describing that the JAR type certificate for the aircraft (originally named the 332LP) was withdrawn:

The payload range of the S-92 is considerably greater than the 225, as is the cabin area, height and baggage space.
