Jeg kvekker litt hver gang jeg leser at H225 markedsføres, bygges og selges, en maskin som har en innebygget feil som ingen har tatt ved roten. Det gjelder selvsagt de to katastrofale havariene med typen i 2009 (AS332L2) og Turøy ulykken i 2016. (Tekst og bilde: Red.)

Airbus Helicopters Opens Malaysian Completions Center
Airbus
Helicopters opened its new regional completion and delivery center (CDC) in
Subang, Malaysia, as it streamlines its services in Asia, the company announced
yesterday. Previously, the regional CDC was situated in Airbus Helicopters’
Singapore facility in Seletar Aerospace Park.
According
to Airbus, the new center can simultaneously accommodate up to four medium-size
helicopters and is capable of completing and delivering up to 20 helicopters
annually.
The
company also expanded its simulation center in Malaysia, transferring the
Dauphin AS365 N3/N3+ simulator from the Singapore facility to Subang, which
already had an H225/H225M simulator. The Royal Malaysian Air Force and the Royal
Thai Air Force are some of the H225 users in the region, as well as a number of
VIP Dauphins flown in Malaysia.
The
entire move is part of Airbus’s “one-roof” initiative, where Malaysia would be
the regional CDC, maintenance repair and overhaul (MRO), and flight simulation
center, while Singapore will be Airbus’s Asia-Pacific hub for sales, marketing,
training, materials support, logistics, technical support, design engineering,
and technology development.
The
European manufacturer will also expand its presence in Seletar by building a new
office complex by year-end and shifting its various entities under the same
roof.
