AshBell Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 Hi and welcome Ash, what is Project Manager- Aviation capability?which was more fun the Piper or the Jab? Hi peter, I enjoyed the Warrior over the J160 but I do see the economic benefits of the latter. I found the Warrior to fly as I had assumed it would whereas the J160 moved around quite alot - reflecting its lower weight and size I suppose PM Aviation Capability can mean quite anything really, at the moment I'm managing the fleet replacement of the Vicpol Airwing (rotary) i.e aircraft, systems, and equipment. Vicpol currently operate a fleet of Dauphin N3 heli's. We're looking at a fixed wing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshBell Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 Put me down for the fixed wing:-) What machine are the cops thinking about? We're still finalising the mission profiles for the fixed wing which will drive the requirement. A broad brush would suggest a twin turboprop.

peter Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 The Warrior may be faster, more reliable and more comfortable but for me the Jabs are more "fun", a bit like choosing a mini or a commodore! I'll take the mini every time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Hi and welcome Ashbell. Warrior or Jab? If economics are a factor, I can vouch for the Jabs. At 15L to 20L /hr fuel flow, low servicing costs. I get about 13L/hr in my LSA. But it is a light aircraft, useable weight at 181kg. The J160 is a bit the same with full tanks, you are limited as to your Pax's and cargo weight. The J170's are the way to go if you want to take a pax with full tanks who is not anerixic. Cheers, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
