We operate a VIP config. the cockpit is freezing because the scoops on the bottom of the nose are driving ambient air into the cockpit. We have taped them off and put small wholes in them to cut down on the draft. Currently we are installing baffles in the cabin to block air flow and let some of it go to the cockpit. One problem is the duct run through the nose gear bay, and the other is there is no blower in the heating system.
Agusta has checked our aircraft out and told us we are the only operator that is having a problem with heat.
As far as HYD. is concerned we have no problem.
