This site is one of four new landing sites approved by the IAA for HEMS operations close to Dublin hospitals. This pitch is the night landing site for nearby hospital. To be fair to the owners I heard it was more than just the standard wheel sinkage that wash left behind. Then maybe it could be an over reaction by the ground keeper..,Although I have walked in the valley of the shadows of death I fear no evil...

Originally posted by SARMAN View PostJust heard this today and heard that the CG will no longer have the ability to use this site as a result. Allot of money was paid to get the site HEMS approved and now it has apparantly removed as an option due to a 139 putting a railway line on it..

Did you hear it from the same source that said the AC EC-135 air ambo service would have 2 pilots on each mission? Or the same source that said the damaged EC-135 was beyond repair? Or was it another?
Maybee the 135 operation would have been better as twin pilot or maybe not I am sure the crash report will cover that.
Oh sorry I forgot we are calling it a hard landing around here!! As for the 135 being beyond repair let's wait to see what the bill for re-build is vrs a new 135 is.
In fairness the aircorps would not be the first to do this. A major airline recently paid three times an aircraft new price tag to keep there hull loss record down.Last edited by SARMAN; 10 February 2013, 00:48.Although I have walked in the valley of the shadows of death I fear no evil...
