NHV still have a good few of them flying around the place on short term work. Cheap and fast is v popular in todays environment. That said, they are also trying to hand them back to the leasing companies as they have too many spare following the closing of their bases in Ivory Coast and Ghana.

Not sure what you mean Greeny. Have NHV sacked all their Dauphin crew in the last 48 hours?

Interesting. Lots of expensive toys with no contracts to fly for. Lukoil closed their whole operation in IC and PHI picked up Ghana with the S92. Who are they flying for then?

The whole world does not rotate around Lukoil and PHI! |
It looks like I'll be flying an EC-155B shortly, but all the training manuals I can find are for the B1. I want to be as prepared as possible before the training starts, and I'm wondering what the main differences are between the B and the B1. Can I use the B1 manuals? Which parts should I avoid? Thanks.

You will be fine with the THM for the B1 and Training manual for the Arriel 2C1 2C1 from Turbomeca.
As torquestripe mentions the diff is mainly in the performance. |
B1 has a backup mode for FADEC failure which uses the opposite side engine to control the power, whereas in the B the engine just freezes at the last power setting. No other real differences not already mentioned.

Not quite true - you have a BackUpSwitch on B
