met police

Dear flying squirrel, or should I say MG. You would not pass the interview. You need to build a few hours first and then some more, then you would'nt pass the interview. Do you see the point ?

Trilogy?

I thought there were four eternal lies! Or perhaps that's just the story of my life!

Cheers

....if I am to ever get a real flying job away from R22's!!
Oh how I miss the R22. Wouldn't give up my real flying job, but what I would give to have to opportunity to do the odd trial lesson in a Robbie.

Little birdie tells me that the Met police are going to have a winch fitted to their shiny new 145s? Trying their luck at SAR?

Ssshhh... dont tell the CAA..

That stuff's waaaaaaaaaaaayy outside the PAOM..

You can have a winch if you want
You can use it, if its a life and death job.
BUT..........
You had better not.
1.Write any SOPs
2.Do ANY training..!!

'cos you'll be on a fizzer....

Glad to see decorum in deforum has been restored....

Morris1, why's that then? What's up with meeting CAT winching standards?

It will never be the same after 7/7.

The boundaries are being pushed back more now than ever.
Winching, abseiling...who knows what else

Things will change forever under the PAOM I suspect and very very shortly????????

It's two weeks since the interviews finished, has any announcement been made or has anybody heard now many are going to be taken on?

While you're all waiting for the results, anyone heard of a restriction for the EC145 on tight turns below 70kts?

The Silsoe Kid rides again!

And I thought you had retired!

I guess any BK operator might know....

... and they do not seem to know.... and nothing currently at FAA...

There are similar rumours circulating about vibration issues concerning police A109 and 119s in the orbit .... not mixing the types up I hope!?

Rotorpig: EC145

For training with a winch you need to be SSE all the time if you are carrying passengers. Police officers are passengers.

Winches are not only used for SAR, they could allegedly be used to transfer from a helo to an obstructed platform, couldn't they?

Hmmm.....

Can't see anything in TC's link to the EC145 Technical Data - is there anything in the Flight Manual about "tight turns below 70 knots are to be avoided" ?

Anyone got a copy

I'm surprised the misspelling of PIANO wasn't picked up before going to print!
