Colour does indeed matter!

Rumour has it that it's cheaper to lease a Bristow's Puma from it's lease holder than that of CHC's from Mr Dobbin (re Tallisman and Shell contract):{

"Yeh.........Ah know"

Bristow Puma = Knackered old Tiger = Not a proper Super Puma

CHC Puma = Mixture of ex-BIH donkeys/Bond Super Pumas (The ex-Red ones having some semblance of cockpit standardisation)

Red One
 

I bet it is a shiny new Red one... trying to work out how much it cost Tony Blair to nip up to Gateshead last week? ;)

Puma AS332L question
 

Hi there,

Can someone please tell me what is the MAUW of the L model puma and the fuel burn per hour in cruise?
If you know the same infomation for the L1 and 2 that would be great.

Thankyou!

for the L1 it's 18,960 lb and burns 1030 lb/hr at lowish altitudes, in temperate climates and with 15.5 degrees of pitch.

The MAUW of the L model is 16,300 lbs. If I remember correctly, the fuel burn is ±1,200 lbs per hour. This is a good yardstick for flight planning purposes when operating in the bush and the ideal briefing facilities such as met, load, etc are not available.

Cheers

Retract previous answer!! I was thinking of the 330 L model

212man RU online at the moment, could I skype with you or e-mail you this afternoon?

Regards

pm me if you like

L, 8600kg, 490kg/hr
L2, 9300kg, 500kg/hr
The fuel burn varies with power settings/altitude etc, but these are what I believe are used in Aberdeen for planning purposes.
