Hi guys, thank you for the input,I am only enquiring what the legality for me would be, the heli would not be used for ferrying passengers around, where I am working the are lots of snakes and scorpions and the company were just enquiring about having a helicopter on standby in case of a fellow worker getting bitten, I am an advanced qualified first aider, also a qualified mechanic and a 1200 ton crane operator.
Where we are working there are no helicopters available, we can get a fixed wing but a landing strip would be quite difficult to organise, yes my company pay me to operate a crane but to fly the aircraft would be at my own expense, in other words, if I was to fly someone to the hospital I would classed as not on site so I'd loose pay for every hour I wasn't there to operate my crane.
I'm still a bit confused because of the conflicting replies, hopefully someone can shed a bit more light on it for me please.
