JCB S76...why fly.. when no fly??
Sitting grounded today at a busy airport, well busy with birds that sing happily..I have seen for the 2nd day running the JCB S76 pass overhead
Any ideas why this was flying?? Thats of course if it was the JCB aircraft I saw...

Below the Glidepath - not correcting
Think business not NOTAMS - Probably because EMS and the RAF are not profit driven organisations. JCB don't fly an S-76 because they like the view.
So why are the EMS not flying

could be the same reason that we are not flying: the engine manufacturer won't except any claims for engine damage
Maybe their engines suck different air then
Volride,
I think you are stirring!
No doubt the flight crew of JCB explained to the owner the situation. No doubt the owner then asked the crew of their perception of risk, which was probably 'low', at which point the owner accepted the risk.
Just because a manufacturer won't accept risk, doesn't mean the owner can't. (Of course by doing that, there could be issues with insurance)

No doubt.

nigelh no doubt you would be risk adverse likewise I would be adverse to sit in the cockpit with someone who stupidly thinks he knows better, rules are for reasons, not fools.... error chain...think CRM if you can manage that task
As for stirring I was asking a simple question

We already have a thread, Helicopters and Volcanic Ash. There is little need to create another thread on the issue, especially one that seems intent on gratuitous mud slinging
