Interesting order. To show my complete ignorance, who are the organisation that publish this? Can you let us have the link to the source document?

Many thanks

What is interesting is to see the EC-120 at the "top" of a performance list. That is one thing they are not renown for having.

how did the product support survey come out ?. Bell was always # 1 , although the spread between the tops 4 was not that large.

The survey results were published in the August issue of the Pro Pilot magazine

It would be interesting to know the condition and conduct of the survey....especially if a SE EC120 comes out top.........
