Colour does indeed matter!

Rumour has it that it's cheaper to lease a Bristow's Puma from it's lease holder than that of CHC's from Mr Dobbin (re Tallisman and Shell contract)

"Yeh.........Ah know"

Bristow Puma = Knackered old Tiger = Not a proper Super Puma

CHC Puma = Mixture of ex-BIH donkeys/Bond Super Pumas (The ex-Red ones having some semblance of cockpit standardisation)

Red One

I bet it is a shiny new Red one... trying to work out how much it cost Tony Blair to nip up to Gateshead last week?

Puma AS332L question

Hi there,

Can someone please tell me what is the MAUW of the L model puma and the fuel burn per hour in cruise?
If you know the same infomation for the L1 and 2 that would be great.

Thankyou!

for the L1 it's 18,960 lb and burns 1030 lb/hr at lowish altitudes, in temperate climates and with 15.5 degrees of pitch.

The MAUW of the L model is 16,300 lbs. If I remember correctly, the fuel burn is ±1,200 lbs per hour. This is a good yardstick for flight planning purposes when operating in the bush and the ideal briefing facilities such as met, load, etc are not available.

Cheers

L, 8600kg, 490kg/hr
L2, 9300kg, 500kg/hr
The fuel burn varies with power settings/altitude etc, but these are what I believe are used in Aberdeen for planning purposes.
