H160 Question ?
Morning All,
Have a question, am chatting with friends who are looking at H160s for VIP work but I remember companies like JC Bamford I think it was rejected these and a couple of other companies also got rid of theirs. Can anyone here tell me what the reasons were behind them.
Many thanks from Ulaan Baatur

Hi Ned
The word at the time was that JCB had returned theirs because it did not achieve the promised performance metrics and also because of a number of additional ADs and inspections that meant the maintenance burden had become impractical for pilot only operations without taking an engineer with them everywhere.

I also thought it was C of G related. We manage a privately owned 160 (CAMO, 145, pilot and training) but it has the semi-VIP cabin not the whole ACH cocoon. Ned - message me if you have some specific questions.
