IFR Helicopter equipment wish list
 

Go!

hi john

a auto pilot for the md600 without it i cant single pilot ifr

john now got ysas its amazing what difference it makes

steve..
long time no hear.

Civi Ops
 

Gen VI+ FLIR projected onto a HUD.

EGPWS with a terrain DB better than what Honeywell has already.

Both available, both doable.

A 600 pound gorilla with a 36 inch Mickey Mantle Slugger Baseball bat...to beat me silly whenever I consider losing sight of the ground.:rolleyes:

We did this before....
But for the record: DeIcing Kit....

Well, without a doubt, a second head and a third hand.

But that raises new problems of its own. Who's pic?

For me - Weather Radar. (oh! and an autopilot for when it gets really busy.)

Tees

A decent payload even after all the equipment has been fitted..

The IFR pilots best friend is:

1. AFCS/Autopilot
2. Garmin GNS 530/430 x 2
3. WX radar

I have this equipment installed in the B222 U that I fly and it works great.

It´d be fun to have TCAS and EGPWS system also!

2 pilots

Three engines and an obedient Flight Director.......but one that won't show me up..........

1. Better lighting
2. HUD-especially single pilot
3. Better, smaller and cheaper, WX radar
4. Ice capability
5. Anything else that means less paper and more knowledge at hand, quickly.

SFIM, SCAS, Wx Radar, Rad Alt, GPS w/HSI slave, phaser and above all teleport chamber

It may be low tech but I still swear by the cat and the duck!

;)

C A V U beats IFR any day.

How about a good reliable Hums system ?, interesting point on the old single twin debate , the cessna caravan enjoys such a good safety and reliability record in part due to diligent monitoring of the power plant.

How about true Cat A perfrmance in all flight regimes?????
