Where is the 'POWER' in this struggle
It's in those PT6's I think
Geoffers - I think we may be sunk. So much inertia, commercial not rotor.
But we can keep trying. I would love to here what pet hates other pilots have with the 139.
Why don't we construct a wish list here on Pprune?
I'd like:
1. A proper AVAD.
2. A CAS caution or advisory of Aural Warning Regraded.
3. Properly integrated TCAS and WX Radar
4. An airspeed feed to the Gear up warning system.
5. A Guidance Controller in my field of vision when flying on instruments, maybe where the VNE placards are, and one for each pilot.
6. Better batteries.
7. Repeater for Glide slope info on the HSI.
8. Better DME display
9. More logical wind direction display.
10. Rotor Low aural warning inhibited by WOW
There you go ten to start things off. I agree that this could be a truly great helicopter, just not quite yet.
Regarding AP off after landing I will enquire why our normal operating procedure omits this.
Oh and Geoff - I think 'The' NHS is great. But I guess I would, hey?
Best wishes
