Choppercop,

Try this

It is one example and it was developed to cover mainly helo mustering of livestock (ie, if you take too long to refuel, they run away and you have to start again!!)

In terms of your presentation, hot refuelling should never be considered as a normal operation - there are significant risks and there has to be an acceptable operational need to take the risk. Importantly, it is not something that should be conducted without regular practice by all of the players. I presume that you are involved in urban policing - if so, hot refuelling would seem to warranted in cases of hot pursuit or in rescue missions where there is clear and present danger to life.

Convenience never makes it on my list, yet is often the only reason!
