Mmmmmmm, Agusta Grande?
Best I tell my Boss and his clients to bring their umbrellas!
Let's hope it is not a 'leaker' like its' forebearers.
Comment not made from any prejudice but from talking to 109 pilots and operators. Like I said earlier - I'm all ears.
Have no particular bent towards the AS355 either, gutless and full of limits above 15 deg celius and 2 pax! (F1 that is).
Have looked at the S76 and, although it's seen by most as the corporate workhorse, its too big for our needs, doesn't have skids and has silly running costs.
Lots of muddy site inspections, so skids essential as far as I can determine.
5 pax max. Typical work can vary between taking Boss to near europe or 5 business men to the big smoke (1.3hrs from our base).
