I will await the ATSB report with interest....but there is something way wrong that this aircraft couldn't maintain height on one engine. At two nm per thousand feet of altitude it should nearly be able to GLIDE that distance (15nm/7000") with BOTH shut down.

Can anyone clarify the nature of this operation? I thought the RFDS had the NSW Ambulance aeromed contract. Was this a private air ambulance thing?
