    What I can't work out is why they havnt got another operator in there taking the bookings for Chris. Must be a way around it. Temporary concession etc.

    That's a real bugger.
    There has been a internal scrap in caa over the banning of pilots getting out of a idling helicopter. There are a few in there that wants it completely stopped. Like other country's.

    In all my years being flown in by various operaters I have only once seen the machine shut down in the bush and that was because of a fried battery smoking. Needless to say it wouldnt start again which led to complications. Twas a 500.

    im guessing the whole operaton is down not just him as a pilot or he would have sorted a temp by now??

    Just hope he is up and running prior to 12/04

    I have booked another but it is further to drive and costs more!!!

    Pete is an employee so won't be able to fly any of EKH choppers while that don't have a operating certificate.

    Yep. I have never had any issues leaving the seat while
    It's idling.
    Some in the caa want that practice banned. Those in the caa that have actual Commercial experience are against it.
    Having to shutdown and start each time in the bush costs money in cycles in a turbine machine.

    Why do you think they are auditors working from a desk?
    Shouldn't they be flying if they are so shit hot😆

    They can't have ever done a cto if they want the machine shut down every time the pilot has to get out.
    Pencil necks.
