It is subjective - of course it is but the 5 "S's" come into play continuously when it comes to HEMS.......not so much with SAR.
I must take issue with that statement.
SAR regularly necessitates landing in confined areas, hill sides, clearings, rough fields, hospital HLSs, etc., the variety is enormous. The 5 'S's are our bread and butter old chap and drummed into us, SH or SAR, from day one. They are a core skill we use day in day out.
