3D Cam: The M.C.A. will be the tasking agency pretty much like now
No 3D CAM -
YOU missed the point! I am perfectly well aware that the MCA is not coordinating the SAR-H project. My concern is the fact that that the MCA may end up coordinating the UK's SAR helicopters.
This is
NOT...
pretty much like now
....because, as has already been said, with the exception of the Stornoway flight, the MCA helicopters very rarely travel more than 20 miles inland. This is by no means a slur on the S61 crews, who are very capable operators, but a reluctance to task them to anything away from the sea.
The MCA does not have the experience, nor expertise, to take on the role that is currently carried out by the ARCC.
