Digam o que disserem do Kamov: é feio, é Russo, é barulhento, e desconfortavel, é caro ..........
Ele é o melhor helicoptero para incendios florestais e quem o afirma são os pilotos e quem anda no terreno a combater fogos florestais. nas situações mais adversas ele e sempre o ultimo a abandonar o cenario.
O Kamov 32 voa onde outros nem se atrevem a levantar voo, nunca vi um Kamov a abandonar uma frente por não aguentar mais, ao contrário de outros.
qualquer troca seria, desculpem-me a expressão: "andar de cavalo para burro"
no que diz respeito e incendios florestais.
Quantidade de agua transportada, precisão nas descargas, capacidade de voo nas condções mais adversas e fiabilidade.
Nenhum helicoptero enfrenta as chamas como o Kamov 32
Quando me apresentarem um helicoptero que faça melhor que o kamov 32 eu apoiarei a sua substituição
A verdade e que quando os Kamov32 foram comprados por Portugal ainda nem sertificados para voar estavam na maioria dos paises
fomos quase pioneiros e fizemos a escolha certa.
Agora que o Kamov 32 esta A SER RECONHECIDO EM TODO MUNDO como o melhor heli de combate a incendios florestais e ja tem certificaçao.. ...Em Portugal surgem os inteligentes do costume que se querem desfazer deles.
Sabe-se la porquê....
The Russian multi-role Ka-32A11BC has been certified in a number of major regions – America, Asia, and Europe. It is the firefighting modification of the Ka-32A helicopter and is regarded by experts as the best in its category. The Ka-32A11BC is unequalled in firefighting, especially in mountainous terrain and for the top floors of tall buildings.
September 2009 saw the certification of the Ka-32A11BC by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The helicopter was given type certificate EASA.IM.R.133. It allows any company to commercially operate the helicopter. Before that it was used by some EU state authorities for firefighting and mountain powerline construction pursuant to Specific Airworthiness Specification (SAS).
In 2010 Ka-32A11BC was certified in India by the DGCA. At the Farnborough International 2010 air show Russian Helicopters signed a contract with the Indian company Global Vectra Helicorp for 2 units of Ka-32A11BCs, with delivery in 2011.
In 2008 the Ka-32A11BC was certified by China, Indonesia, and South Korea. It received a Mexican type certificate in 2005. Canada issued a supplement to the certificate allowing administrative passenger transportation in 2006 (the certificate itself was issued back in 1998).
The world’s leading countries and regions have thus confirmed the outstanding performance and operation capabilities of this Russian helicopter. In Canada, for example, the Ka-32A11BC has long been the machine of choice for logging in difficult and mountainous terrain. In a number of conditions this helicopter has no rivals. Its reliability is confirmed by operations in Canada, where these helicopters have logged tens of thousands hours without overhaul. In 2000 these helicopters were employed in firefighting operations outside of Canada and were deployed to Idaho in the USA.
On the South American market firefighting Ka-32A11BC first appeared in Chile in 2007. Then two multi-role Ka-32A11BC operated by the Spanish Helicopteros del Sureste were used to combat forest fires. According to company specialists, the helicopters were as effective here as they had been in Europe. Spanish companies often send crews and rotorcraft to Chile because forest fires are seasonal and do not coincide in the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
Besides Chile, the Ka-32A11BC has been successfully fighting fires in Mexico during several seasons.
Coaxial rotors are particularly useful in firefighting in highly turbulent conditions. Global experience is proving light tail rotor controlled helicopters to be inefficient in firefighting operations. The Ka-32A11BC offers over 40 equipment options, including various Bambi-bucket and Simplex systems, water cannons for horizontal firefighting, foldable rescue cabins of different capacity, and other equipment.
Various modifications of the Ka-32 are successfully operated in Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Canada, South Korea, Chile, Mexico, Japan, China, and other countries. In South Korea the fleet of Ka-32s exceeds 60 – these helicopters are top scorers in the Forestry Service (firefighting) and Coast Guard. After 9/11 attacks, the firefighting capabilities of the helicopter in high-rise buildings have sparked interest in US customers.
