Realistic means BOW?
What is a realistic max OGE hover weight at SL and 40degrees C?
GROSS MASS LIMIT
What is a realistic max OGE hover weight at 3000ft and 30 degrees?
~2870 KG
What is a realistic CAT A weight (clear heliport) at SL and 30degrees?
GROSS MASS LIMIT
What is a realistic fuel flow and cruise speed <SNIP>but some operators say they cruise around at 130 to 135 kias burning 200 kg/h
CLEAN - MTOW 1000' 30C 1013 hpa 135 KCAS = 218 KGH (TAS would be ~ 140 KNOTS (Unapproved data of course
)
Working backwards from 200 kg/hr would give you 130 KCAS or 135 TAS
Is the total fuel capacity of the P2i 560kg or 535kg?
560.4 KG
Can't help with the other numbers as I don't have the performance penalty data from the RFM Supplements. Winch will have an effect on certain things.
I have done a little bit in each model ~ 300 hours.
They are not really comparable aircraft each is just good at what it does and conversely. Due to "legacy" issues the 135 will not get any bigger/better performance wise. Can you winch a patient "into" a 109? Noise? T/R versus Fenestron. etc. etc. blah blah.
