Thanks Trap. If thats the case I will remove both feet from my mouth and continue the thread better informed.
If what you say is true, then CASA should have enough info to make a well informed descision and get the ball rolling. NVG/NVD well managed and utilised by well trained crews means a much safer patient Transfer and safer night apps to unlit areas. I can understand the reluctance to approve all commers, however AOC's should be limited to organisations that can prove they can safely manage the capability and conduct appropriate on going check and TRG.
Surely with EMS over seas operators having used the capability for some time now Oz could see their way to CASA approvals in the not too distant future.
Seems like a waste of current technolgies and missions being more complex than they need to be?
