What‘s the correct abbreviation for radio calls or flight plans when flying the H145 (BK117 D2/3).
Thank you and greetings
Seems pretentious to me. What you put in a flight plan isn’t necessarily what you say in RT. You wouldn’t say Bravo 737 - you’d say Boeing 737. So why not just say Eurocopter (or Airbus) 145 to ATC, and write EC45 in the flight plan? Similarly Sikorsky S76 rather than Sierra Kilo seven six!
