How recent would NVG experience need to be to be acceptable to instruct in civ sar world? I know unless in date you can’t be an IRI or TRI so would NVGI require currency? How recently experienced are those on offer or this person who didn’t hang around? The accident report will doubtless be damning, how well are they risk assessing NVG intro given the mess made of S92 intro and apparent contempt for the advice given and offered by experienced S92 SAR personnel to those who at the time were new to type?

Box ticking was the order of the day for S92 intro wasn’t it? Mentioned here before that CRM was also a box ticking exercise as were some currency items. So probably given those responsible are all still in post.

,, " they wanted someone Irish to do it rather than someone who was qualified."
That sentence might get me in trouble.
But thanks anyway.

BSU - should have clarified that the Irish guys put forward for the post had no instructional qualifications nor experience - they had just been in the company for longer - it wasn't a sneakily disguised Irish joke.

I hear that the Irish CG has signed up for some NVG training - at last - but have the possible providers got any depth of NVG experience, especially in SAR NVG Ops?
Outside of present UK SAR, I know where all the depth of experience lies in that field but that doesn't seem to be where the contract is going.
This is a rumour network after all....

So has this company any previous NVG training delivery? How many NVG experienced instructors do they have? Doesn’t look like many on their website. Was there a tender process, if not why not? Does another company not hold a contract for all SAR training globally for CHC?

Hang on. Isn’t this the CHC Ireland who didn’t listen to the training and standards dept of CHC U.K. SAR when they got 92’s from there? And lack of lessons learned contributed to the source of this thread or so people have asserted and discussed at length. Would they be smart enough to ask for help with this? Sounds like they have but maybe kept it quiet hence there’s an apparent award to someone seemingly not experienced in the relevant area, has to be an inside job or sly envelope somewhere. Isn’t the chief pilot of helioperations on their website a former CHC employee? Was he CHC Ireland before that?
