Standby Readiness
Tallsar,
'This extended night readiness also allows the crew to awaken properly, and better assess the actual conditions and flight plan before launch - always neccessary in the greater risk conditions at night.'
With reference to your comment do you know if any research was undertaken into the 'Circadian Rhythm' aspect of SAR standby at night by the military before arriving at this common sense approach?
When Civil SAR commenced for HMCG was this Mil precedent just adopted as it made common sense?
