SP IFR anybody?

Not sure if new machine has attained SP IFR certification. If so good stuff. If not choice = Co Pilots or appropriate Auto Pilot.

> 5700 kg MTOW will be interesting from a maint and crew point of view. Many differences most not evident yet. Tyre press's for one will/may entail PCN/ACN's and landing on ply wood pontoons vis a vie Bris River Helipad = a no go! Ground taxi on Soft Tarmacs in summer = unhappy aerodrome operators due divets (avoid the steaming divet). OEI at HAUW over the divide in winter with ENG Antice on will mean Drift down will be interesting-see what the flight man says vs the sales pitch.

Interesting times all round........
