Sas,

Its called Shawbury. Not sure if they have any 212's but they do have a lot of 412's and 350's. The army use 212's in Brunei as well I suspect, but of course I may be wrong..........

Cheers,

NEO.

The British Army has a 212 at either Netheravon or Middle Wallop. It is supplied by FBH/Bristows to train the guys going out to Brunei and Belize. (there are 3 212's at each base leased from FBH)

As I understand it they are only contracted to supply a limited number of hours a year for the training, I dont think it is operated full time.

Cheers L'

Question 212 Electronic Training Manual

Hi Group

I posted this query late last year already...

I am still looking for a 212 training manual in electronic format.

A copy was sent to me..., but seems to have gone missing in the Xmas post.

I would appreciate any help regarding this.

Thanks

Thilo

Re: 212 Electronic Training Manual

I'm simple enough to operate without a training manual!

Re: 212 Electronic Training Manual

"Simple enough to operate" maybe, but sometimes it is good to know a little bit more?

Answer the question!

Now that wouldn't really be in the spirit of Ppruning would it? Although judging by comments on some of the threads I've seen lately ...........

So that means Thilo just has to subtract 200 from everything in it and he will be there.........

Having said that, I would imagine that there is a lot of similarity between the 212 & 412 manuals.

Re: 212 Electronic Training Manual

Be serious a second...

Outhouse sent me a copy of the 212/412 in October last year, but it seems the post got hijacked by the Elves.

Can anyone help me out. Thanks.

Thilo

OK... the second is over...

Re: 212 Electronic Training Manual

Flyer

Pretty close:
  • MTOW of 212 = 11200lb (11900lb for the 412)
  • 3 inverters on the 212 as opposed to 2 for the 412
  • 2 blades v's 4 blades
  • May have AFCS differences

Other than that - fairly identical.

C'mon you guys, give me all the others!!

Re: 212 Electronic Training Manual

- Both made by Bell
- Both have 2 crew seats and max of 12 pax seats
- Both have p*ss poor baggage hold space
- Both are great fun to fly - particularly the 212 with its familiar blade slap - unless of course you "fly neighbourly"

etc


Thilo - wish I could be of more help, but I'm sure that somebody out there will fire up a brain cell soon and help out......

Re: 212 Electronic Training Manual

OK
Someone has fired up a brain cell least some of the few still working!
Send us a PM with the address and I will see if the next copy reaches you, this time little elves permitting.
