Does anyone have access to the complete Flight Manual for the H160? The limited publicly available I have found (eg TCDS and a partial Flight Manual update) shows that MAUM is 6100 kg but MAUM for a Cat A helipad at SL in standard ISA is only 5500 kg (still air) with a minimum mass of 4500 kg. Surely that makes it a rather compromised machine? And I like the maximum personnel load is 14 (including the crew). Where do they all go? 14 people at 80 kg each is 1120 kg - not much scope for fuel even if you are not doing Cat A. It would great to have the whole picture.
