Door Guns etc

CC, I'd guess that those readers who have ventured into unfriendly LZ's concur with your point re door gunners ( assuming that this aircraft is tasked with that type of mission ).

Two other points will sooner or later come up when considering a TR for this replacement program, points raised by V-22 experience and resultant constraints in their flight manual:

1. Can the JMR TR operational requirement accept a 40 kt/ -800ft/min envelope restriction?
2. Same question, but applied to the no closer than 250 ft separation between aircraft in the LZ?

Thanks,
John
