AW139 and using the FLOATS correctly "G"
Geoff, everyone is using them incorrectly. The AW139 has the safest, most practical float installation I've seen, yet everyone is stuck in historical practises of arming and disarming them constantly going through Vy. Do what you can when you are training pilots, maybe in a few years the lightbulb will come on.
I think other manufacturers should take a page out of Agusta's book and modify their float systems to do the same.
Pitchlink thinks it's OK to discredit a technical advance because some dufus can't follow a procedure. Time to move on everyone.
