Case Studies

Auckland Rescue Heli needed a solution

A lot of the Auckland Rescue Heli's work is looking for missing boaties, unaccounted for divers and similar. The problem was flying accurate spacings over water. Then pilot Darryl Sherwin had an idea. He wondered if a system used for crop dusting could be adapted...

I badly needed this system last year

Richard (Hannibal) Hayes was flying in storm force winds, at night, looking for an overdue kayaker in the South Tasman Sea. His satellite tracking log was showing the Rescue Coordination Centre he was not achieving the flight pattern needed, but Hannibal had no means of doing anything better.
