When ppruners begin to debate if the earth is flat
Nick, stop trying to pick another argument. Everyone knows that the earth is flat. It has to be, otherwise my football would roll away never to be seen again. Point proven I think!
Just for the information of others (no point in trying to inform Nick of anything) the EC225s in service for oil and gas support all have crashworthy passenger seating which of course includes strengthened flooring to be able to take the g loads. Its true that this is an "optional extra" that does add weight (though not as much as Nick suggests) but even with that extra weight, the payload of a 225 is still greater than a 92.
