maxwelg, there are no L2's in Canada -unless you have real interesting rumor information you can share. Of course, everything else you could fly instead of an L2 has also crashed at least once, so I hope you didn't have your heart set on a flying a helicopter type that has never crashed
Malabo, helo I'm referring to is operated by CHC from Halifax, haven't flew with them yet so I'll assume that it's a AS332L1. Cougar flew this variant from St. John's before the S-92a unit came on the scene, never had any additional concerns back then.
I'm a realist, don't expect there will ever to be a crash-free helo and I accept the calculated risk same as we all do. Just like to know my odds are favourable before I put that survival suit on...but IMO playing a word game with FAR29 wrt. the S-92a certification is not my idea of the right way forward.
