TC yesterday I almost did on fixed wing....

A proven track record, one which could be checked on.
so keep detailed and accurate records in logbook (as natural) and all certificates, contact numbers etc so prospective employers can verify your creds?
ok, sound logical.

My present employer is looking at maybe buying a helicopter. They were leaning towards a MBB105 (?) but the other party is trying to sell them a EC120.

Ops manager says EC120 not have the power and performance needed for the conditions here. Airfield elevation 5600', temperature summer 20 - 38 Celsius. Can get very hot, lots of mountains in some areas, but highest of these about 9000'.

Would use it for charters and medevacs.

Any input from you guys that know about these things?
