Dave Trail deserves better. Like I said earlier. The hill of Hindsight is just that.
double bogey,
I have really no clue whatsoever,
with a navy background, some freelancing and flying police ops since the year 2000 ...
with Bo105, BK117 (B2/C1 Variants), EC155, H145.
Hovering, cruising, transporting, loitering...
experiencing different fuel states between hover and cruise, switching pumps.
its standard, that the next mission(s) are given over radio- while on one mission.
may be its due training with the RN, that I do a fuel check before takeoff,
check the burn rate around every 30 min
and have a close eye on in which tank my fuel is.
Canceling warnings without reacting accordingly is just what I can’t understand from an aviator point of view
if that’s „Bull....“ for you, I don’t want to fly with you...
