More on the first flight of the Belgian NH90 TTH

NHI is proud to announce the first flight of the first NH90 Tactical Transport Helicopter ordered by the Belgian armed forces.
For this first flight performed on sept 18th from Marignane, the crew tested all the main systems of this new generation aircraft such as the engines and the flight controls.
After landing, the crew expressed its satisfaction with the behaviour of the helicopter.
The Belgian armed forces ordered eight NH90s, four TTHs for tactical transport operations and four NFHs for naval operations.
The Belgian NH90 TTH is a Full Operational Capability standard helicopter. This aircraft is very close to the french NH90 Caiman TTH for which deliveries started in the end of 2011 in Full Operational Capability Standard. This commonality brings to the Belgian customer all the return of experience collected during the development of the french NH90 TTH.
“This first flight is an important milestone for NHI since it marks the arrival of a new comer in the NH90 users community, we are all impressed by the degree of maturity demonstrated by this helicopter” declared Xavier poupardin delegated managing director of NHI.
The NH90 TTH (Tactical Transport Helicopter) variant is a helicopter of 11 ton class primarily configured to perform tactical transport missions in all environments by day and night. The NH90 TTH flexibility allows its users to perform additional missions such as internal/external load transport, Heliborne Operations, Special Operations, Search and Rescue, Casualties Evacuation and Training missions.
The twin-engine, medium-size NH90 helicopter program is managed by the consortium NHIndustries, the Company owned by AgustaWestland (32%), Eurocopter (62.5%), and Stork Fokker (5.5%).
The NH90 helicopter programme is the largest ever launched in Europe, with firm orders now reaching 529 units for 19 Armed Forces of 14 Nations: France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Portugal, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Greece, Oman, Australia, New-Zealand, Spain and Belgium.

Forwarded message From: M de Norman <


Cher Yves,

Sous la rubrique civil aviation, tu fais fréquemment écho d'une certaine presse fort critique envers Ryan air.
Afin de préserver une certaine impartialité je t'invite à publier la lettre ouverte de son PDG  qui date du 11/9/2012 qui n'est pas dénuée de bon sens.

Amitiés.

Michel de Norman

About RyanAir, part 2


From: M de Norman 

Merci Yves, pour ton message voici pour ton info la deuxième lettre puisque semble t il  la première est restée sans réponse. J'ai également joint qu'un tableau comparatif des incidents des différentes compagnies espagnoles pondéré au nombre de vol et d'avion qui constitue la flotte exploitée par chaque compagnie. La source semble fiable puisqu'elle est basée sur les informations du site bien connu avherald.
Je ne suis pas un défenseur acharné de RA qui n'a pas besoin de moi pour faire sa pub que chacun se forge son opinion mais pas sur base d'une information unilatérale.
Bien à toi.
Amitiés
Michel
