Did Air Ambulance work in Australia with B200 and PC12 aircraft.
Straight in GPS approaches were preferred that would get us down to about 500' AGL aligned with the runway. I personally think circling NDB approaches at night are a silly idea.
With EGPWS and Rad Alt you get enough prompting of the minima. Also had an electronic checklist that would scroll through with a button press on the yoke that also went into the headset, and a visual display. Aircraft had 3 GPS, one for navigation, one for EGPWS, one for the colour moving map. Along with GPS course bar information on the HSI lines you up with the runway.
No need for an additional pilot, and with the smaller aircraft it takes away from the payload available, would rather have extra fuel than an extra pilot.
Is the BN2 and the kit fitted inside the best tool for the job ?
Condolances to all for their loss.
