I am seeking comment about training and currency requirements for pilots in the single pilot IFR EMS/SAR role?
What check and training should they undergo during the course of the year and the frequency of such if it is more than than their IFR renewal once per year?
What specific operations should to targeted most, how often and in what format?
How important is simulator training, does it need to be helicopter specific and type specefic or can a generic sim be beneficial?
Do crewpersons need to be trained in IFR role to assist a single pilot in IFR operation or does single pilot mean the pilot does everything with no imput form the front seat occupant?
Is CRM training essential?
