| charliepapa , LA | The newer L-1s are actually L-3s. The designation, as well as the performance changed during the 1983 model year. Featured upgraded engine (250-C30P), transmission, and rotorhead. Current production model is 206L-4, and the next generation 407, which features a wider cabin as well as a four-bladed rotor system, etc. 11/24/2001 @ 20:02 [ref: 3705] |
| George Arana Tampa, FL | I've flown in helicopters including LongRangers,JetRangers,etc.Although they are noisy and vibrating they are one of the best helicopters around. 11/14/2000 @ 20:03 [ref: 1041] |
| Canyon Shearer Grand Canyon, AZ | I work on 206L-1's and 206L-3's. I'm not sure where you got these numbers, but I find them to be a little innaccurate. The newer L-1's have an Allison C30P engine in them that has a shaft output of 650 hp.
The ceiling of these aircraft is over 10,000 ft. Depending on the year, some of our L-1's won't exceed 10,000 ft, while some will easily attain 12,000 ft. The 206L is also the safest single engine aircraft you can fly in according to the NTSB. 07/08/2000 @ 00:41 [ref: 405] |
