Well I like the blue...
I have always maintained that if I was in a crew that had a life threatening situation, and the deployment of a helicopter was that guy or girls last chance on earth, I would ask the pilot if it could be done.
What is arguable...and it has been elsewhere here.. is was this the case with this river and with this chap on the roof?
So if you want a definative answer on this occasion then probably no.
From a CRM point of view it has been intresting reading all the language patterns used by some of the participants. I always thought most pilots to be die hard rule followers. Clearly not the case.
I am glad I started this thread. I have learnt considerably.
