Bargearse I thought your response was very informative. The RFDS provides an excellent and unique service with very competent and dedicated staff. The RFDS operates very appropriate and cost effective aircraft (both B200 and PC12).
Before suggesting further expensive enhancements which may not be cost effective on a limited budget (including two crew operations in aircraft designed principally for single pilots operations), perhaps the armchair experts may care to wait for results from the investigation?
