500 Landings? Is this a true number?
I used to do an job on 206/206L called inertial nav survey when we did a landing every 3-4 minutes for 10 hours a day including hot refueling so call it 12 landings an hour or 120 landings a day. ( one start per day ) LOL Then there were the guys doing gravity survey in the desert using 500C and D who did a landing every 2 minutes. Flew a lot of inertial nav survey but one project we logged 110hrs in 10 days. This would be a problem keeping up with gear changes in the 505.
