I agree that it looks like a superb machine and look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

I'm slightly disappointed to see the small round IAS and ALT dials on the PFD though; I think the tape system used by Eurocopter (and of course most fixed wing EFIS) is a better system once familiarity is gained. I agree, though, the conversion may be harder to start with for those use to traditional instruments.

The engine parameter indications are also good from the info I've seen, but again I think the current FLI gauge the Eurocopter use in their Avionique Nouvelle suite is a stroke of genius; On dial, one needle. On the other hand they don't provide nearly enough system information I feel, which I think the S-92 does (in line with most glass cockpit fixed wing).

Will it be at Helitech?
