Re: Hughes 369 question
It’s a combination of change of ownership and grandfathering rights on the FAA Type Certificate. The list includes:
FAA designation & MDHI sales designation
369A = OH-6A
369HE = MD500
369HS = MD500C
369HM = MD500M
369D = MD500D
369MD = MD500MD
369E = MD500E
369FF = MD530F
FAA designation & Schweizer sales designation
269C = Schweizer 300C
269C-1 = Schweizer 300CB
269D = Schweizer 330/330
Schweizer also uses the Model 379 designation for the Fire Scout UAV.
