Operating Minimas
Wonder if a kind lad or lass could settle a small argument I had with a workmate, during a rather boring night shift.
We are not ex services but have a background in civil aviation and we were talking about aircrew operating minimas and how they may differ between training and operational flying.
I thought that if a crew had been trained to fly down to X vis and Y ceiling and they were then sent into an operational area and expected to fly in combat then the same levels of X and Y would remain unless extra training was applied.
However my workmate felt that the limits would be lowered to allow for a combat situ, something I felt was dangerous because the lowered limits added to the combat would be asking for an accident to happen.
Not asking for any details and no doubts there are other factors that are taken into account but in the example above I'm assuming all these are the same ie terrain, aircraft type, attack profile etc.
