Here's a list of things the government traded off for this June acceptance.
- The ability to secure the helicopter's ramp in various positions during flight.
- Crew comfort systems during extreme temperature operations.
- Unobstructed hand and foot holds for technicians to conduct maintenance.
- The ability to self start in very cold weather.
- Cockpit ergonomics factors.
- A system to automatically deploy personnel life rafts in emergency situations.
- 30 min dry run capability in the event of oil loss.
The last two are disturbing for a marine helo.
