The availability of spares/training also play a part.
Good points. I should have provided more details. We’re operating in the US PT91.
I’m familiar with the 429’s weight limit. All helicopters should be able to carry the loads we need. I’m mostly looking for info on maintenance support info such as parts availability and field service support. I know that Bell and Airbus are good in our area. I just don’t know anyone that operates Agusta to get real-world info from.
