why would any one risk their life flying a fixed wing to the ground at night at over 100 kts?
Now thats crazy stuff if you ask me........but the helo operation you talk of is straight forward and presents no particular challenge to an appropriately night rated and experienced pilot.
No real issues here westy. And he has a twin to boot.
But I am curious why you ask here claiming that you are just interested, curious and want to know what other professional helicopter pilots think, yet have already contacted two regional CAA offices to question the legality of the operation. I guess that narrows the operation down to the UK, so perhaps a UK heli pilot would like to comment an the legislation surrounding this.
