old dog 20 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 In the 47 days it was clean and waxed blades that made the difference whether you worked that day or NOT AND 20 lbs was the difference whether it flew or NOT.... geeeesh KIDS And wax works just as well on a 61!

tail rotor 3 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 For folks operating the 206 isn't there a supplement with doors off that reduces max weight to 3000lbs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Freefall 61 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 The doors off just reduces your VNE on a jetranger. Maybe you are thinking of a 500 where the doors off VNE is based on the gross weight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bacon Inbound 1 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 As per 206B FMS-24 With one, all or any combination of forward or aft doors off, your weight limitation is 3200lbs. It's only a factor if you were taking advantage of the 3350lb limit allowed for external loads. For the 206BIII, you can go all the way to 3350lb for external loads with any combination of doors off.
