Hi guys,
Just comparing our current 109E with the P2i in discussions the other day. Questions we couldn't really get to the bottom of in regards to the p2i:
What is a realistic max OGE hover weight at SL and 40degrees C?
What is a realistic max OGE hover weight at 3000ft and 30 degrees?
What is a realistic CAT A weight (clear heliport) at SL and 30degrees?
What is a realistic fuel flow and cruise speed in HEMS equipped aircraft (with winch, but no wire strike or nightsun/FLIR at 2900kg)? We understand 120kias and 175kg/h is Vlrc, but some operators say they cruise around at 130 to 135 kias burning 200 kg/h
Does this vary for dash speeds by much?
Is the total fuel capacity of the P2i 560kg or 535kg?
Thanks all. I would be happy to add the 109E figures if there is any interest.
