Eurocopter EC145
Calling EC145 operators worldwide
It fits my mission profile from the persepctive of size and carrying capacity.
Any body got any feed back on this helicopter from the handling characteristics perspective.
I have heard particualrly from the French that the helicopter does not handle well in confined areas, lack of tail rotor authority, very rigid ride, not good in the mountains. OK, So its not an Allouette III.
I am also very interested to know how the mainteance load is viewed for technicains and its suitability to remote operations.
Is the current lack of FADEC control a real issue.
Would it be OK for VIP passenger transport, does it roll like a pig in the wind. The flights are always short hops.
Thanks.
