Skadi,
Could you please throw more light on your quote:
Thats correct. EASA rules: HEMS generally 2 pilots, but in specified area 1 pilot and 1 trained TCM.

Current version of AIR OPS Regulation 965/2012 says that your quote is valid for night ops-correct me if I am wrong.
As far as I know, NLA has a very thorough training program for HEMS crewmembers, that goes far beyond minimum requirements of JAR OPS 3 HEMS (now Air Ops SPO HEMS). After seeing the presentation of their training program, several in audience half-jokingly commented that getting a CPL(H) is peanuts compared to this.
