I will get some information for you it's just not to hand right now. I flew the machine in the picture in Louisiana. It's a stunning helicopter and the windows are huge. Visibility from any seat is like sitting in the pope mobile.

It's DAFSC is based on EC225 but with significant further features like co-ordinated Groundspeed turns and Flight Path Angle approaches.

Absolutely no vibration. Stacks of power. Multilayer display technology. No switches, gauges or lights in the O/H panel and no quadrant.

One Bristow's Training Captain called it a "Magic Flying Carpet"
