OK..
Well, Fly_For_Fun (and the rest of you)..
I do not have an affiliation with MD. As a matter of fact, the only affiliation I have is with Eurocopter.. ECD that is..
The reason I am at all asking this question in the first place is all the threads I’ve seen where someone is asking for advice on what helicopter to look for in a certain role. The answers are often quite harsh on Eurocopter; the reason being poor service. Now, a lot of people provide very specific and detailed background to their criticism which is good. But a lot of them are mainly just badgering Eurocopter strait off.. It could be that someone is looking into an EC 135, 145 or 155 and people with experience from the AS350 answer, saying. “-Eurocopter`s CS is total crap.. go for an A139 or MD 902 or Bell-something-or-whatever instead..”.
The question now is: Does the criticism of the CS for one helicopter necessarily apply to another?? I do very much believe that one should express exactly one`s experiences with an A/C to the advantage of others (so that they can avoid making mistakes). I however do not support the idea of carpet-bombing the Eurocopter customer service on the experience of completely different aircrafts, supported by entirely different customer services.
I’m hoping you can accept this for what it is.. A question on how different Eurocopter helicopters CS’s stack up against one another (and the competition, if you like). What is support like, based on A/C and maybe also different subsystems..?
