Preliminary Report
AAIU Preliminary Report issued 22/8/07 .......

Raise the min height?
"Due to the increased hazards associated with low-level Aerial Work operations, the investigation makes the following Interim Safety Recommendation:
Safety Recommendation SR No. 13 of 2007: The Irish Aviation Authority review the suitability of single-engine helicopters operating on Aerial Work Permits engaged in low-level operations. The Investigation is ongoing and a Final Report will be published in due course." What was the typical height flow for this task? Rather than dictate twins for low level work, would an increase in min height enable the continuation of the type of work this single engine heli was doing? Creaser Creaser |

What, a twin, especially operating within Cat A performance, would make little difference? Surely you can't really believe that! |
flungdung, can you tell me some of the figures of a twin squirrel avoid curve then please? :hmm:
