Thanks D49,
We are presently crewing an AS-355 and S-76 with 5 pilots two of whom are only 355 qualified, another is 355 / S-76 qualified but not current on all of the operations that we conduct on the 76: (winching, SAR fastroping etc)
Myself and one of he other guys are the only fully qualified fleet Captains so this makes rostering for a 24/7 a real logistical nightmare.
Presently we are on a 6/3 operation with three days and then three nights with the handover at 19:30 and 08:00 though the hours between 01:00 and 08:00 are not usually on a immediate launch but on a 1:30 min launch.
