G'day Nigel....nice to hear your voice.
You have hit on one key point..."if you are doing it all the time".
Invariably we dont and when we do , it is a dark and stormy night on medivac. What I am trying to do up here is focus the training more and more on , night offshore rather than buzzing around a 10,000 foot well lit runway.
Guess age catches up with us all and soon it will be my turn as well , to hang up the headset....in China anyhow.
You would enjoy it up here.
The following may be of interest.....
Just a few CFIT(H) accidents.
I know of many other “close calls” and incidents. The ones below resulted in an aircraft in the water where it don’t belong !
S76A – GoM – 1996
S76B – North Sea – 1997
S76A – South China Sea – 199?
S76 – Africa - ?
Recent S76 in South America
These are just a few I have dug up. Don’t get me wrong. I am not slamming the S76. Other types may or may not feature prominently. It is just that I am flying the S76 at this time and am interested in that and no other type. If I go back to flying the “steam chicken” (B212) or 61 then I am sure I can drag up similar reports ???
