Surely the engine choice was one of, why try to change something that has been proven to work AND help keep costs down?
I am hearing some semi alarming news from a couple of operators in the UK. They are going to increase the hourly charge rate on the G2 and pretty soon as well! One already charges £340 per hour for TR's which is higher than a R22 and £120 less than a R44, this seems to be a real shame, surely as an operator you would want to be encouraging new students to be using your new G2 but pushing costs up past £340 will damage this IMO.
Wonder if the operating costs are higher then expected or is it just a case of operators trying to maintain profit margins
