widgeon Posted March 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 CH143 was used to flight test an integrated navigation system ( HINS) for Litton If I recall correctly. Not sure if any of the equipment tested is on any of the new generation helicopters. Jim was the pilot don't know what other CF guys got to fly it.

Batfink Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Interesting to note that the CH-143 in question is now in Edmonton registered as C-FIOM (STAR 3) now a BK-117 B2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downwash Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Don't care what they call them, those birds would shake more through translation than anything I've ever flown. Most types, you can tone the shake down with an adquate dose of finesse, but not that sucker. I hope they've got them smoothed out by now, especially for the ambulance role.
