OBF you make your point well, military flying is a vastly different beast to Offshore Crew Change Flights. However, it does not stop the sanctimonious SAR fraternity from believing they understand our job.
I welcome any ideas from anyone. However, being told we should fix the problem by "More Hand Flying" is a bit like dunking a witch.
Albert - please explain how you managed to "hand fly" SAR missions in weather less than 300 feet and 1800m. If you can then please explain how you would feel about me doing the same, leaving the DAFCS coupled functions in their box, with your family sat behind me in the PAX seats. Or how about you behind me!!
You talk two languages Sir, "Utter Sh*te" and "Total Boll*cks"
