New bomber response zone
« on: December 10, 2012, 03:23:11 PM »
What do people think about the new HRZ and associated procedures?  Waste of money, or saving lives?

Helicopter response zone?

I have heard rumours, but have not seen any paperwork, procedures, etc...

It would be nice to see the sky crane actually do some work since we're wasting spending so much money on it... So all good I guess. Seems like it may mean we are over resourcing the initial response to some jobs though if rumours are anything to go by... (FDI over 30 = 2 fixed wings, the sky crane and air obs was the rumour I heard)

It was talked about in the regional updates.  I'm not sure where or when the official notifications (if any) will come.

Within the current primary response zone, there will also be a heli response zone that gets helicopters as well as the fixed wing bombers on initial call(when FDI > 20).  Total fire bans will also get the sky crane, so the airspace will get busy pretty quickly!

Only FDI > 20? Well i guess if it means we get a quick knock on things and get home faster it sounds good to me

Things must have changed in the Operational updates.... it wasn't in our update, given by staff.......

It must have come in since our update was held at the beginning of November
