Some interesting facts there PRJ, thanks for posting!

Will they not have insurance that covers this type of liability?

The longer tail boom length is also a factor in the difference between the two. The more hours you spend flying the 44 the easier it will get.

I cant see any video here - All I see is the play bar and nothing else..

What a great post - thanks for taking the time to write it. Whilst I'm nowhere near a commercial pilot, nor am I planning to be anytime soon, I do have extensive experience in the offshore oil and gas sector and drone surveys. The above assessment in my opinion is about the most accurate description of the future state of the market. In addition, I see a further decline in offshore oil heli-ops due to the decreasing market for the product. The world is slowly but surely weaning itself away from oil - it's not all environmentally focused either, there are Geo-political reasons involved too (a greater subject best left for another day). The agriculture side will indeed be pressed into using drones due to massive cost savings, speed of deployment and all round increased accuracy - the pace of drone development is very fast, with new developments being released on a regular basis. It's a bit of a gloomy assessment but there's always opportunity with any type of change, the hard part is trying to identify it.

Sniff sniff.... Is there a bull in here somewhere?

I remember seeing that somewhere, it was part built when I saw it - wonder if it ever got finished, if so, wonder if it's still flying?

Great video - that ship looks in amazing condition!

Sounds like a quiet and peaceful place - what would the neighbours think about it?

Great post iChris..!

Great read NR, thanks for posting.! The forum has indeed been a bit dead of late, however, I'm a permanent lurker, and have been for quite some time. I'm with you on all the comments above, however I feel the checklist, in particular, is important. Sometimes most mistakes are made when we are carrying out a repetitive task, it's sooo easy to omit something - 99.9 times out of a 100 this would be something more or less trivial, something that won't have too much of an effect - that other 0.1% though represents a catastrophic omission that could result in a bad day.

For anyone else reading theres some video / pictures here: https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/225121

Wow. What a great post. It's the best response I've read to date that explains it like that.
