  4. Are you guys finding it brutally slow to load pages? takes me about 5 minutes per page.
  5. Thanks for all the replies and PM's. The general consensus is Longranger from most peeps. Now to narrow it down. Thanks
  6. If you had a spare million to burn, which machine would you buy? Jetranger, EC120, A Star, R66. Personal use, +- 200 hours a year.
  7. TSB#A16P0023: An Alpine Helicopters Bell 212 helicopter (N215KA), was carrying out remote heli-skiing operations about 15 nautical miles east of Nakusp, BC (CAQ5). The pilot was attempting to land on a marked landing site on a ski run called "Nicole". This was the second landing of the day at this location; the helicopter was carrying 10 guests, 2 guides and the pilot. The first approach was abandoned due to skiers from a previous group waiting on the landing site. On the second approach, visibility was reduced in fog and blown-up snow. The pilot still had the site markers and skiers in sight when it became apparent that the helicopter could not come to a complete hover and touch down would result in a run-on landing. The helicopter touched down on the pilot's right-hand side due to skiers near the left side of the site. With some forward momentum and sloping ground to the right, the helicopter’s right-side skid dug into the soft snow, resulting in the helicopter rolling over to the right side. The pilot pulled both fire T-handles and exited the aircraft while the guides were assisting guests out from the back seats. There were no injuries or fire.

  9. Glad it turned out well. http://www.calgarysun.com/2014/10/31/helicopter-lands-safely-after-losing-engines-at-5000-feet-over-calgary
  10. P.B. Keep in mind that some seats are designed to crush to absorb impact.
