Hello dear friends,
Hope some A109E owners or pilots can help me.
Tried search the answers for my doubt but could not find it here. Im very sorry if it has been post before.
So.... We're looking to buy an Helicopter for our business. We have a Baron G58 for our trips, normally 280-500km (150nm-270nm). So, now, we will have to make sometimes shorter trips, like 150km, and thats why we're thinking in a Helicopter. We are studying to buy a Agusta Elite Power, we think this plane can do what we need.
Can some agusta pilot, please tell me whats the maximum range with comfort for 4-5 passengers? Do you think a 500km (270nm) will be confortable for 5 passengers? Is that fuel enough to flight this 500km with pilot+5 passengers?
We dont want to have a small plane + small helicopter, thats why we want a good copter.
Is the Agusta the right copter for us?
Please correct me if im wrong... But i have this datas (from the seller)
Average Ground Speed 140kts
Fuel Consump 200kg/hrs
Range 420nm (how many on board?)
Endurance 3h (how many on board?)
Is the leg space for the passenger seats smaller than the leg space of a BE58?
No more questions for now.
Thanks for everyone
