Talk:Eurocopter AS332 Super Puma

message: Reading this page, something jumped out at me as being "wrong" ....
I don't think that 7200 metres = 19750 feet, as given in the service ceiling. By a very rough calculation, 7200 metres must be more than 21600 feet, as 1 metre is more than 3 feet!
More precise calculations, using the conversion factor of "foot (International) ft ≡ 1/3 yd = 0.3048 m" from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_factors, suggest that 19750 feet = 6020 metres, and 7200 metres = 23620 feet (rounding to the nearest 10 metres / 10 feet). Unfortunately I can't seem to find relevant figures on the manufacturers website for either the Super Puma or the Cougar to determine which is correct.

http://www.eads.com/1024/en/businet/eurocopter/military/cougar.html
Figures given on a third party site here http://www.aircharter.co.uk/aircraft/super_puma.htm suggest 7200 metres is the correct figure, but is that enough of a source to change the page? My best efforts at searching the web found only that single reference that might help. I have found other pages that give various other values for "ceiling" that appear to be based on operating conditions, and in at least one case a page discusses both puma and super-puma / cougar and fails to differentiate when discussing ceiling whether the figure relates to the puma or the super-puma.
So, I'll leave it to someone else who has more subject knowledge than me to fix.

message: Stop adding the accident with the Bond helicopter EC-225, who ditched in the north sea, to this page. EC-225 and AS332 Superpuma are different aircraft!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.212.219.85 (talk) 08:44, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: And I've removed them both. The two types have separate articles, so there is no need to be redundant. Also, the AS332 crash has an article, which does mentione the EC225 incident, which is the proper place to do that. I'll add a link to that page on EC225. - BillCJ (talk) 22:13, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I would say that an accident to an aircraft of the same series as the one which is the subject of an article (1 relationship) run by the same operator (2) in the same region (3) and function (4) in a period of a few weeks (5th relationship) is relevant to an article. Rather than argue, I'd suggest that anyone with an opinion whether a mention of the Eurocopter EC225 Super Puma crash should have a sentence in the Eurocopter AS332 Super Puma article and viceversa comment here. These were 2 crashes with loss of aircraft. Of major human and news importance, but less technical importance, is that the occupants of one tragically perished, the occupants of the later machine were saved by flotation bags.

I've come across a number of images on the 'Net showing what appears to be Super Pumas operating off US Navy ships (in the fleet replenishment role). Yet the US is not mentioned among the operators. Why? Allan Akbar (talk)
Private contractors are doing some replenishment ops with the Navy.  My uncle is currently flying for such a company doing similiar missions.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.121.249.50 (talk) 22:26, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: That's to do with the EC 225 Super Puma, which is an entirely separate article to this one; which is the earlier 'AS332 Super Puma. They're not the same aircraft, despite having the same name, the AS332 being roughly 25 years older than the EC225! Kyteto (talk) 19:02, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
