I imagine that an EC45 could do that (and more), if it wished.

But, no, it would be little point to fly 2hrs to then fly an ILS. Not many baddies hang out at the end of an ILS.

Plus 1 to SilsoeSid's post - my very first solo task as a civ pilot was a 50+ minute pursuit (stolen estate car, oldest occupant 15, driver 13..) right underneath the ILS to 15 at Brum in marginal-limit VFR. As a side-note, the driver had already finished his youth custody before I left 2 years later, and was arrested again almost immediately afterward for virtually identical behaviour.

I strongly disagree. There are many "Civvy" pilots in NPAS at the moment and most of those have been there for years.
A few have not made it through training as well as some Ex Mil pilots.

The biggest hurdle for a lot of Non Military and on-shore applicants is the Night hours requirement. Some High hour HEMS pilots have very little night hours.
That's starting to change now with NVG and Multi crew ops but there are still a lot of suitable pilots without the necessary night hours to get in the door.

And once at the job, how do you let down to VMC? IR not required and those that got one(paid for by NPAS when the requirement came out) had problems keeping it current.

AS355NP Flight Instructor Required

Looking for a experienced instructor on AS355NP to give ground school and flight training. All transportation and accommodation will be provided to and from the facilities. This is initially a once off requirement but could lead to yearly recurrent training. Due to the nature of the operation highly experienced instructors on type would be preferable.

Please PM for further details, daily S&T will be discussed.

Wonder how many NPAS pilots are approaching their 60th birthday?

Seems they can't make up their mind even while posting the advert, as the job description varies between that on Helijobs and that on the actual NPAS website:

...500 hours PIC overland under VMC and a single pilot helicopter Instrument Rating...
Helijobs website

...500 hours PIC overland under VMC and significant low flying experience. You will also need to demonstrate instrument flying experience....
NPAS website

The NPAS website also suggests they are reviewing the minimum 1500hrs down to 1000hrs
