From TC:
It is suggested that mil 101's on average are now down to 60% reliability rating.
The Danish statment says:
[QUOTE][The operational availability of the EH-101 helicopters has since 2010 varied between 53 and 55 per cent/QUOTE]
There is a BIG difference between reliability and availability. The 101 is actually an extremely reliable airframe IF supported by a suitable spares and maintenance package. The RAF found this out the hard way in the early days; once an adequate engineering support package was put in place reliabilty figures in the high 90s% have been consistently seen in some pretty harsh Operational environments.
