To cover some of the offshore industry needs, which is going increasingly farther out, 150-250 nm. out I think the 5 things would be:
- Range/speed with full IFR reserve
- Ergonomical laid out cockpit, meaning seats, instrumentation, more effective noise cancelling and vibration free cockpit, aircondition, sunvisors.
- more presice autopilots reliable down to around 40 kts for IFR rig approaches( 70 kts today )
- Larger passenger cabins and cargo space
- Better customer support!
More and more pilots are loosing their medical licence due to "Tinintus" and bad hearing. This is a mayor problem for pilots flying SuperPuma`s of all types but most the MKII.
