I am not sure like is being compared with like here.
Perhaps different approaches to crew roles in military and civilian aircraft will have a effect on how training hours can be used and this should be represented in the comparison. Bond, Bristow and CHC have all done UK SAR so there should be example out there.
ITT Schedule 2.1 Specification, addresses Training for SAR organisations and
emergency services at 2.2.1 and for Aircrew at 2.2.2. Schedule 2.3 asks for different type of training for aircrew and mentions initial, on-job-training and continuation training, then synthetic and live training.
I suggest that aircrew training and SAR organisations and emergency services training have a big overlap. Although it does not explicitly state it in the ITT Schedules, initial and continuation training will be necessary for both.
So the 50 hours, is that Aircrew Continuation? And On-the-job? And this includes synthetic? Probably a yes. What about the rest?
