Drone

Darkstar,
If you have an emergency, concerning a fire, you would initiate immediately a rapid rate of descent, possibly 4000ft per minute, I dont know how far the div would have been, but ( mountainous terrain allowing ), I would imagine the planned landing would be max 20 mins away, no time for a drone I would suggest, unless there was one airborne already, who knows?
