SWH might have made that comment as the RFDS medics were not doing drills with the chopper.

farqueue,

I was of the understanding that the RFDS is not involved in the current helicopter contract, but may have put their hand up in the tender process.

My understanding is they where trialing their procedures for stuffing the pax into the chopper for transporting them to the hospital after RFDS has arrived at JT. As part of that they also tested their coms with hospital casualty sections etc.

The pax from the 404 went to at least 2 burns units btw, due to a system brought in as a result of the Bali cases.

404...APJT Engine fail FAR 23 airplane

There is NO choice when heavy. Unless you have gear up and 400 feet QFE chuck it in and dump the thing on the ground. 30 odd years in the game....thats my RULE! Don't be a dead hero

Typing error to my above.......QFE should read QNE
Heavy or light matters little ....who are we to guess the end result

Yeah, I reckon he means QFE too. Mainly 'cause I've never heard of 'QNE'...

Tut Tut 520, you should know the answer to this

QNH is the mean sea level pressure derived from the barometric pressure at the station location. The local QNH at an airport is normally derived from an actual pressure reading. Australian aviation regulations require that, when an accurate QNH is set on the pressure-setting subscale of an altimeter planned for use under the Instrument Flight Rules, the altimeter(s) should read the nominated elevation to within 60 ft. QNH should be set on the altimeter pressure-setting subscale of all aircraft cruising in the altimeter setting region, which extends from the earth’s surface to the transition altitude of 10,000 ft in Australia. QNE is the standard pressure altimeter setting of 1013.2 hPa that is set for flight above the transition altitude.
