Fareastdriver, thanks for the chronology. Interesting stuff. I'm curious what folks may feel about what is now the H215C1e variant. Different upper planetary gears and so on. Obviously that model is not affected by the EASA or FAA bulletins. Sure, it is smaller but it is a brute of a helicopter as far as I can tell. Not having the history with these machines it still seems like a very good aircraft for a chunk of the niche that the 332L2 and 225LP filled.
