Agusta AW139

Bravo73, These two machines were actually built mid last year. There are 7 completed machines at the factory waiting delivery for this customer that were completed for them in 2012.
I believe there were delays getting the Trakka searchlight certified??
Hence the -131 tail rotor blades.

Why is it that Maryland seem to be able to do HEMS properly (2 pilot, IFR, twins) yet seemingly everywhere else in the States do not?
That operation has for many years flown single-pilot with minimal (if any) IFR operations.
There are a number of US HEMS who do.

iPad App
Can anyone recommend a pre-flight planning iPad App for the 139?
I am looking for something that allows me to change the aircraft configuration and basic weights, as well as applying temp and pressure for performance figures. I would like to end up with a briefing page showing wt & bal, max wt AEO, max wt OEI (OGE/IGE), fly away ht loss.
I've had a look at some EFBs but can't seem to find one that suits perfectly. Is there one?
Thanks

Don't take it as a joke, I don't like to be sarcastic.
You mean when you're not in the cockpit or the FMS isn't working?
We use an excel file.

Yeah I mean for pre-flight planning, before the flight briefing. I have most of that info available in the cockpit, but it would be quite useful to have it on an iPad for planning and briefing.
If necessary I'll make an Excel form to do it but if there is something available off-the-shelf I might buy it and save myself the heartache and headache.

Apparently an AW 139 chucked a tail rotor damper in Nigeria on Sunday 24th or Monday 25th March necessitating an emergency landing

Tottigol, thanks for the advice. I am not sure what you are getting at - I am looking for a pre-flight planning app. All the pre-flight planning calculations that I currently do on paper, I would like to do them on an iPad. If you know of an app that will enable me to do that I'd be very keen to buy it.
Thanks
Thanks
Arcal 76. If you measure the bearing play every 25 hours and replace when the bearings are out of limits, then you shouldn't have a problem. If the bearing wears too much it binds, then it locks, then it snaps the rod end. That is why you are supposed to check the play every 25 hours.
