Your marketing argumentation is very good noooby.
However, you compare the DOC of a 1990 helicopter with a 2000s one. It is not very fair for the S-76C.
About the range, first I fully agree with casper64, it is not the top priority of an EMS mission. Then talking with pilots, the cruise speed of the AW169 is closer than 120-130kts currently (since the gear can go up ).
So I invite you to talk with operators and pilots who fly this HC rather than take AW’s salesman word for it. Marketing figures are often far from operational one.
