Helicopter Resource RequestDarkness is expected to fall within 30 minutes. The National Park Police helicopter Eagle One is equipped with FLIR and a NightSun. It would require 45 minutes to prep and arrive. 100% of the search area is covered by a thick summertime canopy. The pilot estimates a 1% POD for night time search and is not thrilled about flying in the mountains at night. What do you want to do? Request helicopter to search at night Request helicopter to search at first light tomorrow morning Decide the helicopter will not be needed

Helicopter does not spot anything. The pilot is not pleased and stays 1000 feet Above Ground Level. Hey, it was really hairy flying conditions with the wind coming over the ridge. "Are you really sure this was worth the risk!" Back
Helicopter does not find anything.
Ok. Family asks why you are not using a helicopter. "All searches back in Sweden use helicopters. Are you sure you are doing everything you can. Do you know the number to the embassy?"
