Northern Territory Aeromed Contract

[Josh Cox]

Have had someone much smarter than me explain the single / multi argument for me, as it stands on this forum, its easy really:

1) Accountants run businesses, the PC12 kills everything else financially, repayments, running costs, reliability etc etc. So PC12's it will be, then,

2) One day a PC12 will claim a crew due to the whole single engine thing (hope it doesn't though), the rest of the Dr's and Nurses will no longer fly in these aircraft, problem solved.

I love the PC12, it is far better than any B200 I've flown, PC12 is far safer than a twin engine piston.

But Accountants have decided the PC12 is the aircraft of choice, and no other manufacturers have a competitive product.

Previously worked for a company that did a lot of low level in AC50's, at a management meeting, the company accountant seriously suggested running the AC50 on one engine whilst carrying out this low level flying, you know to cut the fuel consumption in half, average flight 6 hours. This is what has to change.
