We blew lots of floats in the 76 at 140 knots with only embarrassment as a consequence
You flew with floats armed in the cruise and had finger trouble on the cyclic I assume?
'traditional' dropping of the iPad on the unguarded float switch was a $60k FU on the S76
Unable to understand how dropping an iPad can blow the floats I'm afraid. Flew the 76 for 24 years and 12,000K and we never had an inadvertent inflation in any of our six aircraft, nor an intentional one. floats disarmed in the after take off check from a rig, armed on the prelanding check.
