Weather Minima
Cazatou
The report is entitled "The Governments Response .." but was no doubt written by the MOD. I would still be interested to know what the cloud base limit was for SH helicopters flying at more than 140 knots over land. Given the forcast and actual winds and an average groundspeed of 158-160, the airspeed must have been about 140 knots. The actual minima which would have applied must be relevant to a full understanding of this flight.
Would the restriction limiting flight within 500 feet of persons or buildings etc have applied as this was not a designated low-flying area?
