Ok....

Comms appear to be an issue, but something i am sure will not be left unresolved considering the hostile conditions in which these guys can work in. I believe the Sumburgh 92's officially go 'on line' this week, and from what i've heard the crews are very happy with the helicopter. Yes there are some bugs to be worked around, same as there were probably bugs to be worked around when the S61's were introduced.

What about the good points? most noticeable for me has been the ability of the S92 being able to keep a good speed on approaches if they are in a sequence, and no doubt this increased speed can only be of a benefit to response times??

Whats the endurance like compared to the S61's? More space down the back so more people can be winched and taken to safety?


Just a few questions to perhaps focus the convo down another avenue from the usual S92 bashing....

enjoy
