Touchdown autos on H135?
Just thought of something else, re the RW students and will they be conducting full touchdown autorotations in the Airbus H135 or will that be in the sim mainly with the odd practise in the airframe. I know that the H135 can have issues (not with the autos) but with airframe after a full touchdown.
I know their system is way different to ours but the Bundeswehr - HeeresfliegerInternationale Hubschrauber Ausbildiung Zentrum at Buckeberg has a contract with Motorflug. The company provides several Bell 206B based at Buckeberg .for the very purpose of autoration training and practise. This supplements their RW course on sims and H135.
At the same token, as of xmas ...the Bundeswehr is also outsourcing flying training to ADAC Luftfahrt Technik GmbH, the company will be providing 4 x H135.
Cheers
