S_H,
But then we get back to the issue I covered a while ago of civil regulation of a military operation that, inevitably, involves risk beyond that which would normally be taken in the civil world. How would a civil regulator view strapping a number of soldiers onto the outside of an Apache and flying them into an enemy fort?
Or should such a civil regulator only concern themselves with the "civil" elements of an aircraft and leave the military stuff to the military?
But then how does one consider military equipment such as AAR, which become a core part of the aircraft?
In an ideal world, it may work. But realistically, would it?
