Jim, yes I presumed the use of Cat A a devices was a feasible short term goal, since the report goes on to require their use later anyway.
I'm sure pilots and passengers alike will be glad of the SS6 limit. Of course further reducing the limit for helicopters with a lower float SS certification is a little further down the line. Personally I don't see a need to limit SS at the destination to that of the float certification but plenty of my ex colleagues do. In any case, what about SS en route?
On the NUI thing, I see this as a minor tidy-up. On the one hand, the logic of so doing is obvious, but on the other hand when was the last time firefighting kit was required on a helideck?
