Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: Second engine start

 

Just finished a Factory Transition Course (Theory and Flight) for the

Eurocopter AS350B3 helicopter.

That thing has a LOT of fuses in the panels. Asking the instructor why fuses

and not CB's, he said: "Fuses are cheaper!"

And that in a helicopter that cost around $2.2M ........

 

But; of course, the instructor didn’t design or build the helicopter, so there is no reason to believe he has any idea of “why”.
