Hey gcpilot

thanks, I'd not seen that clip yet? hehehehe classic ATC delay for a take-off clearance, the Hospital is inside the Heli-lane :eek: 4nm to the Helicopter parking area at VNKT, no where near an approach or T/O path of the Airbus's. We were 90º radial away from runway alignment so hmmmmm :confused: :mad:

Hey Hawkeye0001

Keeping the TR (mincer) clear & safe is always a good idea, especially with such crowds up there :ok:

Are all the birds stationed at Kathmandu and dispatched from there or does the company keep birds at strategic locations like Pokhara, Nepalgunj and dispatch them as necessary?

Good morning gcpilot8

All based at VNKT, during the climbing season we base the AS350B3+ at VNLK to have a shorter response time for Sagarmatha (Everest) Rescues :uhoh:

Cheers & Happy Landings ;)
