Re: Three Dead....Another Night Bad Weather Flight Over Dark Terrain

Disappointed you've not answered my questions!
From your last post, suppose there was no weather info at all - though seems in fact they had quite a lot. Surely for a 10 mile distance presumably flattish terrain task you fly as you find, don't you - as indeed you always, ultimately should? If you launch up and encounter cloud at 300ft you almost certainly RTB and land. Presumably too EMS helo landing lights are good enough to pick out alternative en route landing sites in an emergency - weather or otherwise?
I really don't see that the ultimate quality of the weather reporting was fundamentally causal here.
