Yes I do thanks, and thinking of what happened over Glasgow I did wonder about the relevance of the Airbus news article (vibrations and cracks).

Do all NPAS pilots now carry out SIM training? or is it still a case of a TRE sitting alongside at each unit and flying away at the bottom of the auto from 2000ft?

Why do the CAA approved TRE's carry out the police auto's from 2000ft or higher at the airfield I'm at, when most police a/c operate at 500ft or lower during the day?
Why don't they do it from 600ft at night which is the normal heights the police tend to operate at.

When is the AAIB due on the Glasgow Police 135 crash, December?

Is there any news regarding any type of real time monitoring/recording equipment for the EC135 or MD902 or black boxes prior to the report?
I'm aware of the other thread but the Flight Global article did make me wonder if there was any news on why the Glasgow Police a/c crashed and it didn't make a successful auto - to the ground?
