Mars,
I guess the answer is this:
I don't post these thoughts with an agenda. The idea of what is necessary is not tied to what products anyone is producing right now. Please do not take my posts on this thread, or any other, as having motivation in promotion of products. These are my thoughts, not tied to any company or product.
Specifically, the S-92 is quite capable of rig Cat A as I have previously posted (and you have reposted, thanks). The S-92 might be the best so far out there, but that doesn't mean that I should pound that as an advantage if I don't think it is. I still think hard Cat A from rigs is less necessary that many other safety features that can be added for less penalty, and much more bang for the buck.
I think I also disagree with FLI, because I don't think the manufacturers hide their performance. He blames manufacturers when he says, "For too long manufactures have been producing and selling helicopters under the Cat A/ Group A category that are applicable to airfield operations only."
FLI says,"We brief passengers on emergency actions and life jackets but they assume that a twin will continue to fly away OEI."
Sounds like your briefing needs a bit more fact, and less fluff, FLI!
