  1. All I can say if it help, is I own a B3e with AFS. The power checks are good and because of the dual hyd, minimal instalation and no repaint to be done. I thinks it's the best option for now. On our 2 other B3's we are running the turbomeca sand filter, although I like the fact that there's minimal maintenance and no need to carry spare filter or cleaning box and solution, they are not as good as the barrier. We had minimal but still suprising wear on our compressor after only 1000h. Also you put a good 10-15k $ back in your pocket as Turbomeca stuff ,as usual, is out for lunch price wise. Don't get me wrong still love the reliability of Turbomeca but I guess there's a price to that. Fred
  2. Dealed with them in the last few months, super good bunch of engineer, even turbomeca sent me there for warenty work on my B3, I recommend them to anyone. They are in the Hellibelule building. Once again first class service will deal with them again for sure! Fred Carrier
  3. we just got a new B-3 and we'd like to have a remote torque meter for the vertical ref. window, anybody done it before? I know it's easy for a B2 but the B3 seems to be a differant story
  4. 2100/h is still good... I heared some eastern operator are giving there 205 + for 1600/h... we are going backward I'm telling you.....
  5. Hey guys.... what about those who DON'T have a working visa, but because they have a commercial licence, it's legal for them to fly commercially and for FREE!!!! why nobody is fighting about that too??? I'm French Canadian but been working out west for many years. I'm now based on an island in the pacific. It was a real problem in Quebec few years back is it still the same? What about the rest of Canada is it happening out west too? I do agree on the fact that we should slow down on the visa until the industry come back from that down turn, but also, Transport Canada shouldn't be giving the privilege of a commercial licence to those that can't work here....it should state on it " for non revenue only" or something like that. Anyway just my 2 cents. Fred
  6. here's a pic of that old gal! I think she must be close to 23k hours now! not sure haven't flown her in a while
