The 225 gear can accept up to 950 fpm ROD with no airframe damage and up to 1500 fpm and only damage the gear if my memory serves correct. Been a while since I've flown one now and I'd have to check my training material. The above may be complete bull5hit by the way as I'm trying to recall my ground school from 2014.

I'm still very interested in how the 332 family stack up against the Blackhawks in the fire fighting scenario, bearing in mind people carrying capabilities outside the US. I can't help feeling that the 332 family will do all the Blackhawk can do plus carry anyone. Still want to fly a Blackhawk though, my experience is only limited to a little sim time a while back.
