I don't recall any problems starting the second engine on an A++, and I've started a lot of them, often on post-maintenance runups. The idle gate is an imaginary location, and can be set anywhere...

Shell has been using the 412 for decades, and its fuel is under the cabin. I don't know of a medium helicopter that doesn't have fuel under the cabin. IME, Shell talks a good game, but in the end...

You are correct about how it works, but I regularly fly aircraft more than 20 years old, and have not seen nor heard of any cracks. Moving a weight that is on wheels is really very easy, and it...

A quick Google search turned up the following, which provide rather brief overviews, but may be of some help:

Bell is so far behind they will never catch up. A 412 will carry more payload (slightly) than an S76 for about 50 miles, but beyond that it's no contest. The 412 uses 33% more fuel to go about 75%...

It's very easy to get out of CG limits with the A++. We are required to do a wt/bal calculation before every takeoff. It's not at all unusual to have to move pax around to get it in CG. There is...

What happens on the stick jump test? When we do the flight controls/servos check during the start checklist, we move the pedals and collective separately, and any interaction there is a grounding...

No, you aren't bound to use the RFM data. You can be more conservative than that in your planning if you wish. I do that regularly, based on my experience plus a fudge factor to make sure I don't...

I would have to say that the S76C+ would be hard to beat. For that matter, the A++ is hard to beat. Put those 1S1 engines in the A airframe, with no increase in allowable max gross weight, and you...

Well, horses for courses. Over here, range always matters. Going 200NM offshore, the customer always wants to carry the max load, and 800 lb/hr with about 2.5 hrs fuel max is why the 412 won't cut...

Ascend, that's a huge fuel burn. I guess there's a reason B models are relatively rare. In the A++, we burn well under 600 lb/hr, if we can get above 3000 ft, flying at Vne. We rarely see more...

The generator requires some power from the engine to turn it, so turning it off lowers the temp a little, thus giving the engine a better chance to pass the check. The generator on the other engine...

Or the gear retraction system may have malfunctioned, and you still need to fly. You can pin the gear down and fly with it extended, but you still want to get to your destination today.
