Malabo, can you outline why you are so confident in the 139 float system? I for one would not like to suffer the brown out following an inadvertant/uncommanded float deployment at 155kts in the cruise
. It has happened on other types.
Having had so many different strange 'electrical things' happen with the 139 I do not share your confidence.
The last one that confused me was when we were told (CAS warning) that the OEI 2.5 min limit was about to expire. We were parked with both engines matched and in fly, Nr at 102 and just about to taxi. Confused? I guess so for a while, luckly not for as long as the engineers who had to trouble shoot it.
I may be wrong but I believe both incidents that Pitchlink refers to were
uncommanded float deployments.
Anyway, very interested to here your views. I guess a few may have thought Agusta just didn't have much experience of offshore ops.
