Re: UK Coastguard SAR - Bristow out??

212man,
I was the genius who set the max wiper speed to 141, it coincided with the Autorotation Vne, so I thought it would be easy to remember.... The wipers didn't have enough poop to swing back to the middle above about 150 knots (the wipers stuck out there and the CB poped), so I knew we had to limit it to 140 or so. The 141 came to me in a moment of inspiration.

I have to believe the 40 knots on the 92 will be lifted soon. Till then, rainex (which always worked better for me, frankly, on every aircraft I flew.)
