GH, I would be very interested to hear why you are of that opinion?
Hot fuelling is used in offshore, medical, firefighting, logging, Ag, SAR, etc, every day. It is used by a large and varied fleet of helicopters and operators.
What part of this operation is so hazardous to make you consider that my post demonstrates a perceived risk.
As you have no idea as to our procedures, I am interested in how you reach this conclusion? I take it that you do not use hot fuelling operations yourself?
