Review flight procedures and training syllabi as regards the observed shortcomings, especially MCC

Tactical procedures and techniques in the Air Patrol Squadron have evolved from lessons learned throughout the years. Associated guidelines and training have not been updated to meet the present requirements. The existing guidelines are inadequate or inconsistent, among other things, regarding Multi Crew Co-operation, passenger seating and safety belt use as well as egress from the helicopter. Members of the CTU team have been used in crew-like tasks. Due to shortcomings in guidelines and training crew procedures have not been standardised. This complicates crew cooperation.

The investigation commission recommends that the Air Patrol Squadron review their flight procedures and training syllabi as regards the observed shortcomings. Special attention should be given to Multi Crew Co-operation-related monitoring techniques.
