Ciao,

Vertical Freedom, do you guys operate only by day? Any night (NVG or un-aided), or IFR recoveries from rescues at all? Also do you winch or is it just helipad - helipad or airport?
Just curious as to what response capabilities they have over there. (not just the company you fly for but others also)
Cheers.

Namaste rjtrt
Thank You for the compliments....more coming soon
Namaste havick
Nepali rules - single engine day VFR only. The places we go we cannot use a winch as it is too heavy, plus you need a crewman along also = more weight
so we gotta go supa light every where. NVG does not exist here (yet)?
Happy landings
