Re: twin vs. single

["R. Gregor" <gregor@cmail.cz>]

Here, in Europe the problem seems to be solved now.
According to JAA and it Regulations (JAR - OPS 3) - since 1.1. 2005 there will not be possible to use for HEMS operations any other helicopter, than CLASS I, A (Twin, capable to go on lift up, hovering, landing or flying after one engine failure) over the congested areas and hostile environment.

Thatīs why all HEMS providers, operating in such areas (with base heliports in large cities, etc.), are replacing their singles or twins (other than Class IA with CLASS 1 A twins).
Our helicopter provider in preparing to replace our AS 355 F2 (Twin Squirrel, but not Class IA) in these days with new EC 135.
