Hi all,
back to the same over and over again!
Gentlemen, the EC135 is on order and we are getting real close to freeze the ordersheet.
We are aiming for the lightest possible configuration (still needs to be dual/single IFR), but in our environment we are a little limited with IFR infrastructure, so we are aiming to delete what we cannot use.
One fundamental question is still engine choice.
All the fleet is Turbomeca (...ok we have one lonely Bell206), but the question still is if Pratt's would be the better selection or not!
I saw the post about EC135s in Asia (pref. PW).
Our application is hot & humid, sea level to max 12.500 ft (highest elevation in the country .....)
The P&W wins with some 20+ hp better power in some situations, but the question is what is preferable overall in our specific environment.
So, if you guys/gals (mechanics/engineers) have any experience with the EC135 in similar conditions, please advice or let me know where this was already posted!
THanx!
