Crab,
Why don't you get your outfit to provide you an opportunity to fly with the Police, EMS, and civilian operators out there in the real world....and see how things work outside your own small closed world. It might prove enlightening. Lots of other people fly helicopters and do so in a professional manner....and most of them are not SAR pilots. Maybe your outfit would benefit from that exchange....thinking outside that proverbial box works you know.
What provoked you to request a TDA for that flight....was it seeing the Robbies in the vicinity of your flight? Was the TDA Notam'ed....if so it would have been after the end of your flight and surely not during the flight itself one would think?
