IME, on the US Gulf Coast, the 412 and the S76 are pretty comparable in terms of reliability.

Re: Sikorsky C Plus Plus !!

We're still flying 20 year-old A models re-engined to A++. We're slowly going to C+, and eventually C++ and D, but Sikorsky isn't turning them out very fast, and there is lots of competition for...

I don't know about all TCAS models, but the Skywatch TAS we have requires other aircraft to have an operating transponder in order to see them, although they can be on any code, not just 1200. I...

It's hard to say. I have no idea how many the competition has installed. All our mediums have them, and the light ships that don't already have them will be equipped in the foreseeable future. I...

We have the BFGoodrich Sky497 Skywatch system, which is a TAS (Traffic Advisory System), not a true TCAS. It only sees other aircraft with a working transponder, but it does a good job. We see...

We use the RFM 130 kts as the limit, but recommend lower speeds for raising and lowering the gear just to reduce wear and tear on all the parts. I try to keep it under 120, and often lower,...

We just fold the seats down & put the stretcher on the backs. I haven't found a better way. Putting the stretcher on the floor makes it awkward for the medics to attend the patient. What is needed...

Peter, the way I approach these approaches is to have the PF on the instruments until short final. It's OK to take some peeks to see where the rig is, and how far, but primarily it's on instruments...

Jog, the S76A++ is much, much better than the A. It's an A airframe, with A weight limits, but with the engines from a C. Plenty of power margin. Of course, if you're still stuck with an A, it's...

I read the takeoff incident, & can understand how the incident occurred. I consider every night takeoff from a platform, drilling rig, or ship to be an instrument takeoff. The PF flies on...

I've never tried matching fuel flow, because it just doesn't seem that important. It's never that different in the aircraft I've flown anyway. I match torques in the winter, because that's the...

I have to agree that the ground will slow you more quickly than the air. There just isn't that much friction in the air, & the S76 doesn't like to slow down up there. You might need to replace the...

I don't routinely carry a decibel meter with me when I'm flying, but I would estimate the noise as <90dB.
