It's a wonder PH didn't jump all over ya and correct your figures to 520 million or something like that!
The strength of the whole PDF is 9,500, pay accounts for over 70% of the budget.
The strength of the AC is around 850 (around 9% of the PDF).
You do the maths!

My question still goes unanswered, how much does the AC cost for the next ten years, INCLUDING pensions? Add in everything, a/c operating costs, airfield operating costs, wages the works. I'd love a transparent answer, so we can all know how much the tax payer pays for an AC and what they get for their money?
I'm not looking to run anyone to ground here.
People here say the AC is great value for money, great, give us the figures to back it up, nothing to fear? Then nothing to hide.

If you include pensions and as an approx figure get 9%:
AC costs €80m annually to pay 850 personnel, god knows how many pensioners and operate a fleet of around 25 aircraft.
CHC cost €52m annually to pay 130 personnel, wonder to they contribute to pensions and operate 5 aircraft.
€3.2 m versus over €10 m per airframe.
But let's remember we aren't comparing like with like.
It is difficult to find out how much things cost for 1 section of the DF, as the RDF VFM found.

Let's not forget that IRCG have 4 aircraft fully crewed 24/7, at four different locations that are not owned by CHC or IRCG.
Air corps has one aircraft 24/7/365. Not counting the Garda air support as the corps only contribute 1/3rd to that crew. Actually do the air corps bill the Garda for the pilot?
You are comparing apples and oranges here.Last edited by SARMAN; 30 January 2013, 09:17.Although I have walked in the valley of the shadows of death I fear no evil...

In that video the crews were speaking directly to NACC controllers, passage of info is much quicker.

Suppose it's a double edged sword - the more taskings that are accepted by the IRCG, the greater the probability of a helo not being available for a SAR tasking?

That said with the advent of the S92 fleet each base will be in a much better position to cover each others area 24/7 365. The primary advances being a 25% increase in speed, greater payload vs performance for carriage of additional fuel and perhaps the greatest asset will be the RIPS system which will allow direct IFR routings around the country even during the winter months providing much quicker transits to incidents then machines that would otherwise have to operate below the freezing level.
