What do you do differently on the Europian side of the pond? Norwegians and now the flying Englishmen seem to have experienced problems with the S92
Heli-Ice, the point here is that the north sea is a completely different flying environment added to the fact we are on a different lattitude compared to you guys on the other side of the atlantic. We fly in a hostile environment, with weather conditions being quite extreme in some cases with rain, unstables air masses (turbulence), salt spray etc affecting the aircraft in many ways especially when they work hard on a daily basis.
So its inevitable that problems will arise in such circumstances. As for the future who knows! I'm not an expert, perhaps someone else can enlighten me!
