Well, it is accountants taking figures without background Data and without understanding.
Was the bird on the ground?
From when starts the time? Making the call, explaning where to go and what the mission is? Takes normaly a couple of minutes, well spent cause it is easier to gather Information on the phone compared to beeing in a noisy Environment where you should also do a lookout i.e..
How was the weather forecast, allowing immediate scramble or was it wise to have a look onto the enroute weather?
Was a direkt flight possible or were deviations due to weather or ATC necessary?
When does the clock stop?
First call on frequency or overhead, while the FLIR Camera was locked on the target and already scanning for the last three minutes before beeing overhead?
Which distances had to be covered between mission target and Point of scramble?
Any wind in favour or against the helicopter?
Only numbers you should just trash, thats only good for headlines but has nothing to do with how the buiseness works!!!
