EC225LP Super Puma : EC225 Spirit

Assalamualaikum

After 6 months of training (2 months of classes plus courses, 4 months of line training), I'm officially an offshore pilot. My job kinda getting easy nowadays but with bigger responsibilities. Last time I'm flying for general aviation only, sometimes we'll bring the passenger along sometimes not. The experience that I've got is priceless though. Went deep into the jungle to send the doctors for weekly medical check up at the 'Pos Orang Asli', meeting people there really makes me happy because I love nature.

Enough about that, so today I'm gonna write about my latest aircraft rating EC225LP. For those who are deep in love with helicopter, they will know about EC225 straight away. This machine is unbelievable for a helicopter. For fixed wing pilot out there, please don't compare it with planes, A320, B737, and so on.
