Re: UK Coastguard SAR - Bristow out??

Oh my! Cats are in amongst the piegons now!

It would appear by adding 385kgs to the 225 to match apples to apples the 225 actually has a lower payload, by adjusting the fuel flow numbers to the latest given....the 92 has a lower fuel burn and with the larger fuel capacity also the greater range. Vibration seems not to be a problem as thought and the 92 actually has the aircon and de-icing. Speeds in the cruise....anyone flying the 225 care to supply us those numbers...speed, fuel burn...

Are we back to the windows again?
