So what about if you are half way between Wyndham and Derby at 2am in the morning and this scenario occurs. There is nothing that has lights and within gliding distance and you, nurse and unfortunate pax are probably dead.

The RFDS management are more than happy to risk the life of their crews flying around in single engine aeroplanes at night because it is cheaper.

If they are going to operate them at night then they should always plan to be within a gliding distance of a suitable and available landing strip or fly the King Air.

It's time they had bit of a re-think about the safety of their crews!
