Much as we all- I'm sure - sympathise with the authors of the letter, it would carry more weight if it did not contain factual errors!
  • The Super Puma does not have a 30 minute dry run capability

    I'm not being pedantic - I just think if you are going to start making claims of this gravity, you need to be 100% accurate in your assertions.

    On another note (partially related) I see some progess appears likely with the FAA certification of the SAR AFCS:

    Federal Register | Special Conditions: Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation Model S-92A Helicopter; Installation of a Search and Rescue (SAR) Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS)
