Here we go again.
At the risk of inflaming my detractors, it must be stated that the operator of this B407 was CHC Australia. And my reason to state this is that if it can happen to them, with their extremely robust CAR 217 Training and Checking system and EMS/SAR Standards, then it can happen to anyone.
Since that fatality, the Mackay EMS Base and that other notorious base at Rockhampton have both adopted IFR Mediums too undertake the tasks.
Thank goodness for that change of thinking and standard.
Night VFR EMS kills people. When will we ever learn?
