Too true....and the FAA and NTSB want to form a partership with operators, NEMPSA, et al....to form a stuy panel to figure out ways to mitigate the death toll?
Yeah Right!
The same partnership that got where we are today.....making like Wildebeests at migration time....keep running and don't look back!
Never had a scare in the daylight doing EMS....but night time provided plenty....and I have danglers the size of BB's!
I love the advertisements for pilots...body weight equipped for flight not to exceed 215 pounds.....underpowered aircraft or CG problems here?
Sierra Vista ...206/407 pilot needed....ever been to Sierra Vista? Dark does not describe it adequately.
Seen West Texas when the fog rolls in.....
Been to West Virginia or around the Applachin Mountains when you fly cross grain over the valleys...DARK!
The Southeast...with the summer haze at night...over the forested areas....waiting for the fog to form?
Night VFR in marginal weather in a basic 206/407/350....with your annual checkride that might include one approach under the hood...and usually a surveillence radar approach at that. Pass the annual checkride and you are still good to go eleven months later.
Gee.....what could we do to improve things?
