Merlin,
With BKN002 I don't think Portugal is anywhere near as sunny as the North Sea has been for about the last 2 weeks. Speaking to a few former Sea King pilots 250 sounds optimistic and for max range I wonder what speed the cab is flown at? Also is there much payload left when it's turned into a flying gas can? But anyway no need for a hangup with the fuel on the 92, a 262NM ROA with 30 mins on scene and 30 mins IFR reserve on landing is enough thanks. Could be eeked out if you scoop and run and reduce landing reserve with discretion, might see 300 ROA but wth no proper TOP COVER anymore who's going to come and get you at 300 if there's a problem? Where's that Nimrod gone again? Can my local MP raise a question in parliament re lack thereof?
Can of worms open. End rant.
