TERMINUS MO - Ok I hear you and I do not want to bore you with the stats on the massive number of offshore flights compared to the incidents as just one is always too many.
In respect of the EC225, I feel we should make distinction between Operational Capability and Technical Serviceability. Of course they are two different things.
The EC225 has been designed with offshore safety in mind. As you have L, L2 and 225 experience you will know well the step changes in capability and safety enhancements that the L2 and 225 represent when compared to the L/L1, with each step being a significant move forward from the last variant.
