Well said....100% behind you.

And with your words of wisdom you have just identified yourself......I spoke to you at the meeting.!!!

Yes, why indeed was this, and other perfectly disciplined operations around the country, not equipped with NVG’s??

Believe it or not, CASA is presently laying out the legislation to allow civil NVG operations……it will be presented in the form of a CAAP, so operators can expand that into their Operations Manual….expect something within six months.

Giving the extreme limitation of IFR operations in EMS / SAR, together with the dangers of undertaking the same in a VMC scenario, NVG’s can be a perfect alternative.
