Ambulance Charlie Alpha. You hit it on the head when you refered to the SOPs.

You mention an MDA of 430', and a robust autopilot. Ive been out of the game but I thought it was MDH? Does the ops manual still say the auto pilot cannot be used below 1,000'?

A second pilot would help decision making/situational awareness just as it does on larger types. Liverpool/Tingwall and other single pilot crashs would probably not have happend if there had been two pilots.

Gus was tremendously helpful after my chemical injury (and incapacitation in flight). I will miss his counsel and friendship. RIP.
