I once read the topic of one vs. the other, and i can't seem to find it no matter what. We have 109E and we are in the process of getting 135 which i favour more, but i would like to read it all again to set the facts right.
Please help :sad:

The 135T2 is lethargic below 40 knots and its range is abysmal with 6 POB. Once above 40 knots it's nice to fly and the AP is superb.
For the work we do (corporate) I would have prefered the 109 Elite.

Phoinix, which "engine variant" of 135 will be delivered to LPE?

Engine manufacturer is yet to be determined but probably PW, as all in our fleet.

What is the difference between P&W 206B and 206C?
If i know right, B is in 135 and C in 109E.
To be correct the 206B is in the 135P1. P2 has a 206B2 which is really a 206 with a 207 hot section.
206B/B2 compared to a C has the 26 deg angled output drive, regulated oil supply, fire detection is supplied by PWC, engine indicating hardware is supplied by PWC.
206B/B2 = 431 SHP T/O Twin engine
B = 2.5 minute OEI 573 SHP
B = Continuous OEI 493 SHP
B2 = 30 sec OEI 734 SHP
B2 = 2 minute OEI 716 SHP
B2 = Continuous OEI 493 SHP
206C = 561 SHP T/O Twin engine
C = 2.5 minute 663 SHP
C = Continuous OEI 633

Thank you RVDT!
So EC has more power in OEI and agusta has more power in transmission rating.
