Super Puma

Apparently there is a large avionics cooling fan behind the cockpit, that creates noise in the "wrong" frequency...

 

ANR only makes it worse. I have an article but it is in norwegian, but we can get RDM to translate it!

We just ordered quite a few "Bose X" headsets, we've used them with great results on the 76 and 61 in Thailand. What does your article say?

Apparently ANR creates "white noise" and this may disturb the hearing at different frequencies than non-anr headsets.

 

Best solution apparently is helmet with earplugs. secondbest is headset with earplugs, then headset/helmet with ANR.

 

Even the CEP system makes the user more prone to hearing loss, at different frequencise...

 

I guess it won't much matter what you do.

Apparently the worst culprit was the AS332L2. The article was written in Norway after several older Captains lost their medicals due to Tinnitus, a constant ringing in the ears.

Rotorhead,

 

Is the SuperPuma replacing an S-61? What is CHI flying offshore NS now? And, when will the helicopter get its Canadian register?

[Rotorhead]

Until the customer wants newer aircraft, the crew in Halifax will fly the 61.
