RFDS Single Pilot Operations
Why does the RFDS conduct single pilot operations? Namely when most of these operations are conducted in remote areas, with tough strips, some at night some in really hard meterological conditions. Plus the single pilot has to cope with the added stress that he/she must reach his/her destination as this may be a matter of life or death for the pax. Wouldn't this type of operation be more suited for a two pilot crew?
I am not in anyway insinuating that this may have been a factor in the Mt.Gambier crash, I'm just curious.
