Training not planned to commence until January, crews only training while on duty, using an aircraft with no winch.
Is there not an NVG training course? At the promised training school? Or are they just going to give it a go and see what happens? If they go about it that way I shudder to think what's going to happen. NVG merits about a month of training for those that haven't used them before and certainly about a fortnight for those that have but not on type.
