Our Alphas arrived last week.......
A few questions:
1) Are they for routine use or special tasks (eg SAR, USL etc)? The Canadian report argues they should not be required for 'Line Operations' (ie crew change flights)
2) Are they paid for by BSP? Cougar only partially subsidise their crew who want a helemt.
3) What colour are they? The report suggest white is not good.
4) What hazards drove the decision? Head injury in a crash, bird strike protection, noise protection etc?
Thanks in advance for the answers.
To me the Canadian report does smack of justifying the status quo. Why else would two
passengers be involved in the risk assessment workshop?
