For me, the question still stands, will all of those intending on being associated with helicopter ops on fires be doing a CRM course?
From memory, on the course I did, it was mentioned that all associated with the operation are part of the operating crew, refuellers, dispatchers, fire fighters etc. Not to mention those who will be on board the aircraft. I have to prove to RFS that I have the qualifications to be on the fire, yet nobody boarding my aircraft needs to show me anything but orange overalls......................
