Perhaps 212man can provide much better information..
I'm out of touch somewhat, but they started operations in Feb 2007 and we were doing 4.6 landings per flying hour thereafter. In late 2013 the 2 AW-139s arrived, so I assume (I left mid-2013) that much of the shuttling passed to them - that was the vision - so the S92 landing rate would have gone down a bit. However, the 139s have left, or are just about to, so the rate will go up again! For sure, though, they are the highest cycle S92s out there.

VIND 920006 was at 14500 TT, a year ago, according to GINFO.
From the same source, ex Norsk 2005 debut a/c 920011 has currently 22000TT and was recently despatched to the Falklands with BRS.

Thanks, much less than I'd expected :ok:

I think my point about the A+ is that it requires an existing airframe to upgrade, so to talk about ‘production restarting’ is a play on words.

interesting to hear Shell are saying that. I very much doubt the BSP machines will be changed in 3 years!
Had it confirmed from US, these are new machines build to A+ spec, Sik have dropped the B altogether.

Thanks - I’m out of touch.

212man as of today nearly 80 000 cycles per machine for the 2 older S-92.

What is the A+spec exactly?

An urban myth. Often talked about, claimed to be seen by a friend of a friend, but never proven to exist
