Mechanically, the 139 is the simplest machine I've ever worked on. Electrically, people are scared of it. And for no real reason. It is DC only. No AC crap to try and find issues with.

As a former 412 mechanic, I can say there is no such thing as minimal maintenance on those pigs. 212 was much better and I'd actually rather take a 139 into the bush than a 412. Far less day to day...

John, do you know what sort of speed Linfox are getting out of their 169?? How slow are these things?

Is it just slow for an Agusta, or is it actually slow?

Yep, I know of one guy who has opted for a 76D instead of the 169. I don't necessarily think a 76D is an upgrade though! C++ is in my mind still better than the D will ever be. For the price of a VIP...

PANews, Canada is even worse. Flexible lines are not allowed on fixed oxy installs anymore. Must be rigid lines, which makes bottle changes a pain in the a***.

I wouldn't call it an issue with the engine driveshaft. More that the drain line went to the deck rather than to the overboard drain so it was making a mess!

There are EMS tenders out there at the moment stipulating 300Nm range. We don't all live in small nations.

And how far can you fly in an EMS configured 145?? A lot less than an EMS configured 169. Heck, a 145T2 won't even go as far as a BK117B2!

Oh, and I believe the 169 is the same price, if not...

Geoffers, the solution to this perceived problem is actually a lot simpler than that. Put in a XFEED valve.
That is all that is different about this fuel system.

Outwest is correct, I had a brain fart there. You would need a boost pump fail AND a Xfeed fail to lose the 228kg.

I would assume the 169 has a Xfeed valve too???

malabo, if you have a rough 1/rev in a 139, you need to track and balance.
