Re: S76 & Sloping Ground

Nick, your honesty shines through yet again. Thanks for all the info.
Did you know that an S76C 'minus' roams the sky? Now there's a Flight Manual that's as rare as the Dead Sea Scrolls. My fault I'm afraid!
Max normal twin take-off Tq 86.6% and indicators to match. They carry a spare indicator because HSI can't paint them fast enough.
Shytorque and I are still waiting for the G-5 sloping ground limits.
Why not start a rumour at Savannah that EASA require this for all new aircraft. They'll have to employ some folks off the Lockheed C-130 programme.
Now there's an aircraft, it's up there with the DC-6 for me
