Flygerne i Vung Tau ser inn i fremtiden med EC225

Fra min agent i Vietnam har jeg fått linken til en historie en del flygere i HS vil dra kjensel på; utsjekk på nye helikoptre. HS var engasjert av SSFC som bygde opp kompetanse på vestlig utstyr etter i hovedsak å ha fløyet Mi-8. Jeg hadde gleden av å være med på det.
Her er historien i dag:

To guard airspace and territorial waters, pilots of squadron EC-225 under the Naval Operations Staff of the Vietnam Navy have kept on training a routine flight program with state-of-the-art aircraft.
Responsible for key missions of scouting and search and rescue at sea, the powerful and fast 11-ton-class EC-225 helicopter combines long-range performance with a very large cabin – accommodating up to 19 passengers in crashworthy seats.
With a service flight ceiling of 5.9km and a max weight of 24,251 lbs, an EC-225 can accommodate two pilots and 19 passengers and operate at a maximum speed of 275.5 kph.
Its integrated display system, advanced avionics and digital 4-axis automatic pilot significantly reduces flight crew workload, improves mission effectiveness and increases operational safety.
Tuoi Tre journalists accompanied a regular patrol flight along the coast of Vietnam and witnessed a training day of the squadron’s pilots with the five-bladed-rotor helicopters.
