Can't believe I'm doing this, but anyway.... must be bored...


As others have mentioned in here, S/L cabin is a big consideration along with safety & reliablity when it comes to medivac retrievals.....All of the above can only be achieved by one airframe that is available new & that's the B200.

Really?

Then how come Central Section has been doing exactly that with PC12's now for 13 years and re 100,000 hours?

Obviously nobody told them...


Whilst the arguments re "tiger country" in the south-east of the country have merit, I'm not sure that the NT can be put in the same boat, and as such either the PC12 or the B200 would do the job fine.

And why would the Avanti II be ruled out altogether?
It doesn't have the big door and probably isn't suitable for outback strips, but I know it has at least been "looked at" as a fast, economical option for tasks like transplant patients or pick-ups between capital cities etc.
