Crab do you actually read the posts before you get your shovel out?
The majority of the posts here accept the need for LL training, we should cos most of us are ex military.
There are approx 16 Air Ambulance in the UK we average 3 shouts a day,(max being 15 for this unit) we are airbourne in 2 min, and you suggest we get a TDA for every incident we attend. Mmmm does your boot really fit that well in your mouth?
Blind call, How many times do you need to be told we don't have UHF! We are run by charities and the money is'nt falling of trees hence the lack of TCAS.
Here is an idea, lets cut the crab hotel bill for one exercise and that should pay for TCAS for all the HEMS units in the UK!
Bertie, I'm going to try push CHAS to lobby for TCAS from goverment. May be worth a letter from all HEMS units in that direction. Might be wasted effort but worth a try.
