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/civil/super_puma.html 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.

I changed the Indonesian Operators from Civilian to Military since TNI-AU means Indonesian Air Force and Dispenerbal means Naval Aviation Corps.
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)
They are aircraft of the same series run by the same operator in the same function and region. This makes the two incidents related in some ways, though the causes are not yet known. Have added brief note to this effect to articles on both models. Pol098 ( talk) 22:05, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
BillCJ repeatedly reverts my attempts to get this page closer to the accepted Wikipedia style (a template inserts an error which needs to be fixed). Could someone please explain him that this is not his own page and he should change the style if he wants to change the style? Thanks. -- 91.55.206.73 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:48, 3 June 2009 (UTC).
I have now amended the template and it appears to have fixed the problem.

Last edit of the flag of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority use of the AS332C (short fuselage, Turbomeca Makila 1A equipped) should be changed from the US flag to the Puerto Rico flag, I don't know how to do it. I served as Director of Flight Ops for PREPA from 2002-2006. If anyone can help, we who served at PREPA would appreciate it much since the chopper only carries the PR flag, even though it is registered with an N number. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.204.190.5 ( talk) 12:57, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
Reading this page, something jumped out at me as being "wrong" .... 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
