Most modern helos have “great” hot/high performance however, load them up and the difference is obvious. Speaking of hot and high, where in Metro Brisbane/ Great Dividing Range in SE QLD is Hot/High? Strewth, even clapped out Jetrangers can operate in those climes. H145 (p.s the US Army uses them) and A169 outperform the Fatranger in every aspect. Let’s not forget the connections between purveyors of Rotary platforms and certain state Police “Forces”.
