Anyone using HELLAS?

[eurocopter beans]

Can any operators using the EADS HELLAS system or a similar system give me some feedback on it? Effectivity, reliability, value for money, pros and cons from a pilots point of view etc...

I have read the manufacturers promotional and technical material but would like some info from the people using it.

Feel free to PM me if you like.

Cheers.

I had a pleasure to fly with German BundesPolizei EC135 in the Alps ... only I can say - wonderful!

...operators including the Bundespolizei, Slovenian police, Royal Thai Air Force (HELLAS) and the French, German & Finnish armed forces (MilOWS).

Some prior discussion on the topic here (http://www.pprune.org/rotorheads/408287-wire-detection.html).

Thanks IC, I saw that previous thread... I'm hoping one of the operators (perhaps some of the ones mentioned by yourself) can give some feedback on the system.
