A-Star Leader Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 I went trought the Canadian Operator Guide 06 and realised that theres is a lot of helicopters that aren't flying in Canada. With the age of most fleet increasing, what bird would you like to see replacing older machine. For my part :EC130 Quote
rainman Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 More 407's would equal more spare parts :up: Quote
Fenestron Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 135's 145's......time to take over some of the medevac work from those 76's. and the corporate world that will be emerging in canada would love them Quote
Chopper_Stew Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 R22, so I would finally have a viable chance at meaningful employment. (There's no reason to blame my complete lack of marketable job skills.) Quote
407 too Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 fenestron, it's a catch 22 with eurocopter 135/145 and i assume 155, they won't go after canadian certification unless they have a sale, and who wants to buy a ship thats not canadian certified (let alone product support of a one-of or two-of ship) Quote
Elvis Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 407Too the EC155 has Canadian certification Quote
Fenestron Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 the problem is that it's a costly and time consuming process to get certified. The 155 is certified, the 135 is close (thanks transport for setting the bar high for canada, the rest of the world has been operating them for 10 years with success, why you're dragging the process down now is beyond me) I guess we should all feel special that Transport has to have their own unique spin on everything.
