The Marenco Swisshelicopter Skye SH09 quietly performed a second hover flight in November, AIN has learned. Although a bit longer than the first one in October, it lasted less than 20 minutes. The pilot reportedly felt improvements in handling. Marenco Swisshelicopter, a start-up company, has slated EASA certification of its Honeywell-powered single for late 2015, seeing the Airbus Helicopters AS350 Ecureuil as its main competitor.
