Did my type conversion on the one at EBG Redhill. Nice machine good training and most importantly available for PPL self fly hire (the only one I know of in the UK). Good for a first turbine conversion as it is manual start (no fancy fadec to help out) so you're on a steep learning curve where a mistake can be expensive which tends to focus the mind even more.
Not that much more than an R44 to SFH. Belongs to JOHNR81 so I guess his question about rated EC120 pilots may be to get a few more hours on it per month. I have had a few people say they don't like them but what would you rather turn up in an EC120 or and R44.... no competition. Just my few penny-worth.
