NonPC Plod - how about the good old RNZAF - about to retire their B47s and start ab-initio rotary wing training on A109LUH!

EC135 to B212/412 :yuk:

You have to wait for the old lady and beg her to do something... so many dials, at first everything was a backup instrument or a watch, well its no different now.

I was told it's a powerful helicopter... but at MGW it's just like a jetranger.:*

Years ago a 341 to an R22A - what do you mean we can only put 10 gals of fuel in it, why do I need to use the other foot, why is the collective under my armpit and we are not going up, you call that a cylic !:ugh:

Haha Me too!

EC135 to R22 - hover taxiing downwind on a hot day was *ahem* "interesting" :eek:

SK76B to SK76A+

11700lbs no problem at any temp

10800lbs - couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding

Krypton John,

The RNZAF fellas I taught were flying it better than me after about trip 2, so I dont think they will have any snags!! (wondering if you are one of them?)
