Hey guys,
now we are rolling! All good info!
cpt, we certainly will do compressor washes every day as well cleaning the blades (probably 3-4 times a day). The job is supposed to be on an island, so the machine will see a lot of freshwater and greasing!!
Shortshaft,
no contract, promises, etc. yet, so we are still okay in that department! We are just working out details at this time!
The whole question comes around to, if with the ERC installed, the MTOW- with external load is increased over the regular MTOW.
Just like on the EC350B3....wish I had that one to do the job!
I am nearly certain this would be the case, as there is no "space" for the extra weight at regular MTOW. With the Emptyweight of our "Beast" I am right on MTOW with 60 min of fuel and the 165 lb pilot and about 700kg - 50kg short of the max external load as it is....
ground effect,
A SA319B is all I have available! ...no Lama, unfortunately!
Keep it coming!
Thanks,
3top
