Not being military I have no idea what MGB is fitted to the models formerly known as Super Pumas and branded since the 90s as AS532, Cougars, EC725M, Caracal, Super Cougars or H225M! I haven't included national military derivations (I think!) or locally built versions for the sake of sanity!
Can I safely assume that none of these military a/c are fitted with the problem box even the later model H225Ms?
Can’t help you with the military models, but understand there is a military equivalent of the EC225, with the same problematic gearbox.
In Australia and nearby, AS332L and L1 are operating on oil and gas operations.
The clients, workers and pilots know the difference.
