The value contained in the clear fact that EASA and FAA have measured an entire helicopter against a new standard cannot be "exploded" by one pedant who sticks to one detail and pounds it repeatedly while ignoring all the misrepresentations he has been caught making.

He has never explained any of the shortfalls that he misstated and that the 225's documentation exposed.

Yes, it appears that the S92 has been reported to have had one maintenance or otherwise fault exposed, this is not the Holy Grail to Super Puma lovers. To those of you who like to be fooled by a bit of new chrome and a new name on an old, less safe design, have at it.

The sales record shows that of the 38 S-92's delivered so far, and three year's worth on order, a number that is perhaps 3 times that of the 225 (those with numbers please tell us!) It is comforting to know that those with the technical savvy and buying decision power have a better, safer future in mind, even if anonymous usernames on pprune do not!

And for the record, these safety regulations are not the sole property of the S92. The various new products of Agusta and Bell firmly embrace them, as well, and are the better for it. HC, run quickly to explain how the ancient creaky design of the 155 is better than the 139, and how the Huey is better than the 429. There is a little time left before the sales of the newer machines swamp the older ones, as the S92 has swamped the EC225.
