B3e Performance
Anyone got a B3e FM that can do a quick OGE hover (max gross external) calc for me at 7,900ft DA ?

She's a Rocket....landed 25,800' @ -17ºC with no doors, no seats, 50litres fuel on gauge, to pick up 1 injured Climber.....amazing performance, nothing comes close: Nothing

Rotors , did you have your visor down to stop the glare of the low fuel light?

Wouldn't be too worried about a low fuel light with 50 ltrs, prob an hours fuel at that altitude

Hey AgRattler...yep visor down for snow glare & that pesky low-fuel light
Hoy Kiwiflyer....not exactly, she burns around 100lph up there at MCP so half an hour, 12-14 mins flight up from Base Camp where my fuel cache is, 4 mins stooging around, 3 mins on the ground up there, then auto for 4mins back to BC, 1 min final to land with about 15-20litres on gauge, of course the conditions & weather have gotta be right for a green light on this type of extreme mission
