NH90.

[kdej]

Hi.

After taking off from 'The Vloot dagen/Marine dagen at ±16.00/16.15 Lt, it seems it's training time.
The NH90 is circling the area over and over again.
To me it seems it's training approach and take off procedures or something.
I don't think they do any landings in between the passes.

I've i'm correct, that second NH90 is here to train flight crew as well as ground crews.
(Thats what I heared.)

Hi.

Since i'm new here.....
What is a c/n plate and where is it located ?

The c/n plate is a small plate where information can be found on the manufacturer's serial number also known as the construction number of the aircraft. It is located on the bulkhead on the left side just below the pilots feet and can be seen when looking through the small window on the front end.
For a photo of what can be found on the plate of a NH90 helicopter take a look at http://www.scramble.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=53834" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The Italian test registration is known to me. There is no tie-up from this registration to the c/n.
Anybody?

Hi all.

Almost daily now the NH90 is circling the Den Helder area.
Guess it's busy with it's training program at EHKD.
Repeated landing (approach) and take off maneuvers it seems.
So if you want to have a look, go to EHKD ?!

Tomorrow and Wensday it will be flying some missions. If i'm correct also some nightflying at Tuesday.

Does this mean training has finished, or will another machine take over this kind of duties (or will the first dutch helicopter now be delivered for this)?

Nederlandse NH90 klaar voor grondige inspectie

De eerste Nederlandse NH90 is vandaag in Italië aangeboden aan een zogeheten acceptatieteam van Defensie. Samen met specialisten van het projectbureau NH90 onderwerpt dit team de helikopter de komende maanden aan een uitgebreide inspectie en diverse testen. Daarmee wordt beoordeeld of de helikopter voldoet aan de overeengekomen voorwaarden.

"Een mooier geschenk had ik me zo kort voor kerst niet kunnen wensen", laat projectleider kolonel Jan Verhulst weten. "Het eerste toestel is nu voor acceptatie aangeboden; we gaan hard aan de slag nu de puntjes op de i te zetten."

De Ready for Acceptance, zoals het aanbieden wordt genoemd, van Nederlands eerste NATO Frigate Helicopter (NFH) vond in Italië plaats bij producent Augusta Westland. Luitenant ter zee der eerste klasse Schultz, nam als hoofd van het acceptatieteam de helikopter in ontvangst van leverancier NHIndustries.

Tijdelijke configuratie
De eerste NH90 (de NNLN03) is in een tijdelijke, zogenoemde Meaningful Operational Capable (MOC), configuratie aangeboden. Dit houdt in dat het nog niet aan alle contractuele specificaties van de eindversie voldoet, maar al wel kan worden gebruikt voor bijvoorbeeld opleiding, training en kustwachttaken.

Vervolgtraject
Na acceptatie wordt de helikopter dan ook naar Maritiem Vliegkamp De Kooy in Den Helder gevlogen, waar het Defensie Helikopter Commando begint met de eerste opleidingen en trainingen in eigen beheer.
