Hi All
I'm a SAR helicopter pilot.
A few weeks ago we had three survivors in the water. The rearcrew brought the first one up unconcious. They then had to go for the other two. Some one has to fly the beast. That left me the copilot to do CPR.
A SAR aircraft is full of medical kit. I have several thousand hours in the business. I know, in theory, every bit of kit on board.
I went down the back, pulled the guy out of the way of the winching station, checked for vital signs, and got stuck into raw unprotected CPR. I did hesitate at the thought, but I wasn't thinking straight enough to grab any of the various barrier devices around the aircraft.
I'm a professional, experienced, and arrogant enough to think I'm quite good. Faced with the problem I didn't think of any of the solutions, so I just did what the military teach you every year.
Don't blame the cc - you can't simulate the real thing.
