Any ideas on the unscheduled events we can expect when operating a couple of AW139's on coastal work. I haven't seen anyone posting concerns about the engines reliability.

Thats because there is no major issues Tech2.
Our engineers do daily water rinse after last flight, followed by a drying run. Ops normal.....

Top engine.

only ball ache is changing the injectors and fuel fuel manifold every 600 hours (300 hours in the sandpit).
Just add oil.
