VFR EMS Ops in Australia
I have an interest in EMS Helicopter operations and have been reading about the relitively high accident rate for these operations in the USA. I noticed that many were operating under VFR, often at night (no NVFR in the USA?).
Do such operations take place in Australia under the VFR? I understand that most contracted operators (CHC, CareFlight) would probably be required to conduct EMS operations with IFR capable aircraft and rated aircrew, but what about volunteer organisations?
Cheers.
