Hi WDE!
Is this Ontario EMS? We heard rumours about the a/c change/ upgrade. If it is Ontario, good for you guys.
As for dispatch times, I hope reference to flight manual/manufacturer's procedure is priority! I have come across the "scramble start" mentality on certain op's which leads to mission oriented mentality rather than solid aviation standards mentality!
Two minutes from engine start to airborne seems quite drastic. There must be some requirement for oil temperature and internal metals coming up to temp before placing any load on them??? Hope you 139 dudes can advise?
Cheers!
