Gomer,
I fear that in the quest to put an answer on each thread in the Rotorhead forum, you missed the point in this one. Perhaps I could invite you to read it again and then comment accordingly.
The reason for including the the Cat A text was to show that it was impractical in the landing case and in fact had made a negative contribution to safety. A number of us concluded some time ago that Performance Class 1 offshore is not a practical proposition; not for the reasons you have stated, but because engine-failure accountability is not consistently achievable.
Perhaps I have a slightly less jaundiced view of the world than you are showing today. In my flying career I saw real advances in equipment and operational standards; I have also met and worked with a number of aviation managers (even in oil companies) who would be apalled at your characterisation of them as money grabbing tyrants.
Whilst I am on my soapbox, I have to say that a some stage you might wish to spread your wings and look at areas other than the US; you would be surprised at the dedication of the larger HEMS companies - at least in Europe. Companies such as REGA, ADAC, DRF and others in Italy, Scandinavia, Holland and the UK who are working with the best equipment and to the highest standards.
Finally, I have to say that I have always read your posts with interest; you are an experienced operator who often has something important to contribute to any discussion. Perhaps this is an off day for you.
I would like the old Gomer back please.
Jim
