Airbus H120/ Eurocopter EC120 Performance
My local airport has an altitude of 5,500ft and there are new imports nearly every year of the H125 and H130. The operational capabilities of these rotor craft are by far the best in it's class - hands down. The Bell 206 and 407 operates quite well, too. Full fuel, pax and/or emergency utilities and they lift without a struggle.
I recently came across an H120 and I honestly adored it. Looks like a little wasp (if I might say). However, many technicians advised me to stay clear of this type and variant when operating in my country. My question is how bad is it with the following operating conditions? Is there a remedy to it? How good/ bad is the supply chain for parts?
Conditions:
Passengers: 4
Payload: 120lbs
Full fuel
Average temp: 25°c
Operating altitude: above 6000ft most of the time.
Flight Hours: 1-1.5Hours
Thx
