Or better still SAS and Rotorspeed, not set back out in the first place. Admittedly very easy to say with hindsight.
From the interim report although not sure where the met readings came from....
“Local atmospheric conditions were characterized by low ceilings, reported between 300 and 500 feet, with a horizontal visibility of only 1500m.”
What would the typical minimum weather be for dispatch for a VFR departure back to base in the Ops Manual for an AOC holder that had a HEMS approval?
