Is that so? What does the paperwork say it is?

Well and Bell Long Ranger B 206L is certified on the Bell Jet ranger cert B206B, but it is a different aircraft 36 inches longer, different engine, main rotor blades, tail boom, tail rotor blades...etc. Just because the type cert for an ASG-29 says ASW-27-18, does not mean it is the same, there are substantial differences.

Cow piles! Regardless of what you or anyone else wants to call it, an aircraft is whatever the placard and/or legal paper work says it is. Next time you are around an ASG-29, go look at the placard.
