The great Helo debate

[squorch2]

I have this feeling that Otto's next NATOPS check is going to be EPIC.

It's official, I now hate this thread.

Np>Nr decoupling is achieved by simply removing the MRDS prior to flight.

"Np>Nr, decoupling" section.

Oh. Dear. God.

I'm sure there is. I don't have the maintenance connections anymore, but if you talk to your Sikorsky rep, he/she might be able to coordinate with GE.

60's have Sikorsky reps in house at the wing or something?

 

[PhrogLoop]

In HSC-Expeditionary West, the tech reps are out of the fleet squadrons and hang out at HSC-3, the FRS. They are supposed to be available to everyone, but usually the Maintenance Khaki are the only ones working with them.

I've heard and used the 30% gouge as well. It's ranged from icy ramp rationale to going easy on the trans. Of course I've never heard of a rate limiter, guess I'll have to pull out the dash one and see about that. AK60, are you using yet another differing screen name? If so you weren't kidding with screen name indecision thing.

 

[phrogdriver]

Otto, you've blown the Nr, Np, Ng relationship every single time you've mentioned them.

You haven't just shed H-60 NATOPS, you've shed everything since FAM/CFAM 1 in HTs!

 

[Praying4OCS]

This is too painful to watch....but I can't look away.

 

[phrogdriver]

I'm thinking that those hinges that Otto thinks are tactically incompetent at least know how the aircraft stays in the air!

 

[AK60]

No, I'm new around here Busdriver. Is there another Alaska guy crawling around? FWIW I've never heard of a rate limiter either. Doesn't surprise me though, as our -1 is less than stellar.

 

[busdriver]

Not around here, but 60driver / hawk driver is lurking around baseops / socnet. No arguement on our awesome dash one. For what it's worth for the navy folks, I've heard that some of our stuff is based on old H-3 info too.

We had one in Hawaii and then we had a special Reserve contract for one at my last squadron. Maybe because we were in our own little world we got one each time. I know -51 had one in Japan, as well.

 

[phrogpilot73]

We HAD a Boeing Tech Rep in Norfolk. With the whole retirement of the Phrog thing, they've all consolidated in Quantico and Cherry Point near as I can tell...

I thank you, Joboy, for providing me some entertainment to pass the time, as I sit here on Kandahar, wasting time...
