Dead right SASless. The pilot concerned recounted to me the story of "AM". Iranian Helicopters got a few hours out of it after Zagross before making like a boat. Never flew it with floats, just ski's. The ex Elivie B204, EP-HAN had floats and was based on Lavan. Never flew the Lycoming engine 204 before but because I had 204 on my Iranian licence, albeit the R-R Gnome engined one, it was OK for the Iranian CAA so I just got into it with the checklist and off I went!! Haven't things changed these days
