The problem is if you put SAR on the tag you'll have to do SAR so thats at least two of your flying airframes that you have to leave on permanent standby and rotation.
Realistically more if you're going to be cost efficient and operate more than one station.

Imshi is right here.

Our RNLAF has 3 AB-412's on SAR duty and only out of 1 station.
The word I hear about it is that if a helo is in maint. they have to scedule the whole thing around.
I suppose a country like Ireland needs a least 2 stations which theoraticly means at least 5 SAR helo's.

The EC-135 as mentioned in the article or the EC120 which really has nothing over the EC135 as a basic flying trainer.

i heard from a good line in the don that a helicopter company came in last week and "suggested that if" (HA HA) the Air Corps were to start a tender process that they would offer such and such... at a very good price...


I wonder did the appearance of that article have anything to do with the same people... i.e. Eurocopter. Hence the uncertainty over the tender status.

Sorry I've been snooping  '<img'>
