Vie,

I suggest then that the content of the training is still going to boil down to the bottom line, -money! Something budget wise that the military don't have too much of a worry about. Where as in a civil environment we see more of Oliver and his begging bowl.

I think over the next few years in a civil SAR environment, we will see more efforts to cut cost by the use of fixed wing assetts to do the donkey work, the searching, and then bring in rotary assetts when required. 'Releaving' a bit more of the budget for rotary to train. Puts the onus on fixed wing but would only work if fixed wing is properly equipped, which it isn't at the moment!
