Am i correct in saying thats the EC225/725?
No its definitely the 175. I see that Eurocopter have not listened to me and my colleagues' comments about the location of the radalt - seen below the pressure altimeter strip on the lower right part of the FND. In the 225 the pressure alt and radalt are next to each other, this is really good for offshore flying.
Its a pity that EC seem determined to move away from the best laid-out screens in helicopter-land (ie on the 225). The reason/excuse is that the new screens are not wide enough. My point would be TO MAKE THEM WIDER THEN!!!! since there is plenty of blank real-estate on the panel. But maybe they started with the screens (cheap job lot from Walmart?) and built the rest of the helicopter around them? Come on EC, don't screw up the MMI of what I think will otherwise be a great helicopter. Use wider screens and put the radalt where it belongs!
