Rumour is that the Tasmanian government are looking at going all rotary with a Bell 412 based out of the north west and another one in Hobart.
The Dr Sharley report is pro helicopter a lot more efficient, medical staff prefer rotary and it has the ability to operate in all weathers to the west coast etc. Interesting reading for those who like to see how government departments look at problem solving etc.
Looks like the B200 is so last century!
Really a combination of rotary & fixed wing would be a better option for tassie, be pretty ordinary trip on the golden triangle in rotary! Sort of a combined rotorlift / rfds thing under the one roof. Use the most suitable machine for the job at hand.
