Why are there always people on here who seem to always have a negative view on what people post. Along with meaningless additions to their remarks

Having flown helicopters for a few years now I am interested in how operations I have little direct knowledge of keep up their skill sets. Mountain flying is not a skill set you can be shown a couple of times and then left to get on with it without recurrent training/practise. It will bite you.

I am interested in how the civilian world of Air Ambulance and Police Aviation trains its pilots to operate, and keep current, in the Mountains.

There is always a chain of events which leads up to an accident. I have my own theories, which may be completely wrong, which is why I will wait for the AAIB report.
