Just a few requests to add to the list.
- Windshield wipers that clean the whole windscreen. During approach and while hovering I find myself looking beside the clean area.
- Rotorcraft flight manuals and supplements free and online for downloading.
- A button on the collective that I can press when I'm at the bottom of the yellow arc in a hover that will bring on full take-off power (without busting any limitations) and hold it until I release the button.
- Better approach plate holders.
- More storage areas for ops manuals, maps, gps manuals etc....
- If you design an aircraft and it has a problem that contributes to an accident please just bite the bullet and fix the problem instead of avoiding the issue so you can avoid liability. Most aircraft I have flown has a weak link (that will continue to contribute to accidents) that everyone knows about but is never fully addressed by the manufacturers.
- Clean up older RFMs every few years and do a complete re-issue as it tends to get ridiculous with all kinds of supplements and out of date information/systems etc..
I'm looking forward to flying an outstanding Bell product sometime in the future after many years in your competitors aircraft.
Cheers,
bb
