10 yrs behind civvy street with FLIR, last in the mil to go NVD. Check lists designed to compete with War and Peace, no GPS back up procedures unlike every other mil flying outfit out there
hmmm.... brought in FLIR of a significantly higher quality than was being used in civsar at the time; taught RN SAR NVD; checklists!!!!have you ever compared a mil set of FRCs with the equivalent document set carried on a AW139 for example???; how do you mean no GPS back up procedures? we carry 2 hand-held sets and the CDNU and RNAV can be operated on doppler and or VOR/DME and Loran in the case of the 3A.

If you are going to criticise, at least get some of your facts right.

Oh and who was it who drove paramedic qualifiactions leading to the raising of the bar in medical care available on a SAR helicopter???? oh yes the RAFSAR Force
