Great Replies and inputs Gentlemen,

I really appreciate the comments. I will conduct a search and see what I can come up with. Please will you be so kind as to forward me the web-sites and the e-mail addresses of the names mentioned above. PM me if you don't want to display it here.

As I mentioned to havoc in a PM we have a LifePort system, with the patient down the left hand side, so our crew members are stuck in the back, with the pilot alone up front. Best views/lookout with two up front obviously. Our crew is normally two paramedics/paramedic and doctor. Most of these guys are new to the Heli program, and those that are regulars do not have much exposure to night flying, let alone NVG use. Obviously training, and lots of it is critical.

Please keep the comments, possible risks and other relevant inputs coming.

Cheers
