Helicopters

[transientorque2]

Besides the Comorant; are there any other helicopter types that are certified to fly in known icing conditions?

[412driver]

i believe the super puma is certified........

[RDM]

That is correct 412,

 

The AS332L's that we operate are approved for "flight in known icing" in Canada,

 

plus, our S92's just recieved TC approval this past fall, both aircraft are exceptional in the white sticky stuff, we could not operate the way we do without it....it is SWEEET!!!!!

 

Ice on a mirror

 

 

 

A little more airframe ice..

 

 

Intakes have the "pie plates" created from ice, yet the rotor remains clean..

RDM, you are one crazy-bad-arse Newfie ! Don't you know, The only good ice is in a large glass of Scotch !

 

Why would anyone want to fly in those conditions...over water... is beyond me but..At least you're not in that overweight little moo-moo-cow anymore :shock:

[RDM]

Crazy...?? nope, you ski pilots are the crazy ones, Donnie D seems to be like'n it here, and he has told me enough ski stories to keep me flying offshore while you loons tear up and down hills all winter

 

 

if the moo moo cow ever got near ice like that it would be a big red SPLAT!!!!!

 

 

Did ya have a good summer..?

The AB 139 should be recieving the TC approval before too long as well.

[MEOB]

[RDM]

True Roo,

 

plus there is a "D" model of the S76 that will have de-ice gear.

 

MEOB,
