Well firstly, if you look at the number of offshore oil support flights / hours per year, and then the number of triggered lightning strikes - around 1 or 2 a year on average IIRC, and then look at...

Triggered lightning is nothing to do with overwater or not. It can occur when mixed-phase precipitation occurs (ie rain + hail or snow) which obviously tends to occur around zero centigrade. This is...

If you are a US citizen, be careful that you have the right to live and work in the UK. Our Border Control lot seem to be making immigration harder these days.

ST the rule for public transport is that you can be captain up to 65 for multi-pilot ops, provided the other pilot is less than 60. For single pilot ops its 60 but that is not relevant for SAR. I...
