Ramen,

You asked the question.....why we don't have the infrastructure and not a single helicopter precision approach in the country.

Turn your question around and tell us how to do it and get it done by the FAA and Helicopter Industry if you would?

What Role does HAI play in this quest for that change?

What Role does the individual operator play?

What Role does the helicopter manufacturers play?

What Role does the individual pilot play?

Interesting side note to consider.....the Canadians have not done what you suggest and they have not had an EMS fatality yet. Why can they do that without any accidents but the Americans cannot?
