"Doing the numbers for an assignment @ sea level 30-34C every day, high humidity, over salt water. I'm quite unfamiliar with the 76 series, what kind of performance/payload would a 76A model be capable of under these conditions?

Thanks,

Anyone else have anything to add about performance or payload under these conditions?

Canuck guy, Just guessing by your name you might have some insight into what helijet is up to up in Vancouver in the summer?

I tried to look up the summer weather from Environment Canada for the last year and it seems like they had very few days under those conditions. A handful all year, unless i looked in the wrong spot.

I am thinking weather a little more tropical year round.

Any insight?

Thanks for info to all about the non conversion from A to B.

Anyone offer anything about operating costs for either model?

HH
