Dear Sirs

I wish to formally apologise for having ever asked the question as to why the S92 hovers more nose up in higher wind speeds. It was a moment of reckless and irresponsible madness for which I have no excuse. Had I in any way realised the PoF nightmare that such a question would generate then I would never have lowered myself to ask it in the first place.

I have the honour to be

Moving on........

I also asked our rearcrew brethren if 10 degrees nose up presents any winching/cabin entry issues? I take it that you are operating with twin hoists that have no bell crank/fleet angle issues?

IIRC 10 degrees is a winch limit on hoists on certain well known yellow helicopters. Therefore 10 degrees nose up, theoretically, would allow no trailing of the cable?


Moving on again...

Was that IR turret not originally on the sponson during production?
