Well, the commitment to provide DARA with 700 million hours in 05-06, over 850K hours in 2006-07 and more than 1 million hours of work in 2007-08 is challenging. The Current estimates for the total depth task across the Lynx, Chinook and Sea King fleets adds up to only c 900 million. There is a risk that the armed forces won't fly enough hours to generate the maintenance requirement, which is very dependant on the operational situation; and in addition the DLO is constantly striving to reduce man-hours per maintenance event in order to improve efficiency. The Rotary Wing Cluster leader, together with each platform IPT leader, are investigating all possible options to move work to DARA.
