I'm sure the 139s out of Bangalore have been doing some night stuff by the book...

IFR flight for heli....

I don't know much but the EC 145 in north india has done quite a bit of night flying (IFR by book).....


What rawknee said was right that heli's don't do much of night flying in india but still mate we have IFR flying for heli's.......It would be wrong to say that we don't have IFR flying for heli....

Mmmm ....

Now back in the "Logic Free Zone" having had an "Interesting" month flying (the 139) in India.

Task completed .... aircraft back in home hangar ..... photo's placed in appropriate folders.

Most valid lesson learned ..... remember to get the "crap" out of the bottle of Kingfisher BEFORE drinking it!

And yes being there was "Incredible" (literally).

We might have a contract coming up there in the next few months. So how is the situation in India after their attacks and now the attacks in Pakistan?

Mmmm .....

Well I would say .... "concerned" but really "no problem".

But that would be what they would want you to feel.

Both countries may have a problem with security .... they go through the bureaucratic exercise which makes operations there a nightmare ..... but the reality of "will they be able to protect" ..... well ... good luck with that!

Hope nobody else has to find out!
