Great to hear you back on thread. In the pic of your mountain flying brief, along with DA, Met etc. you listed Physiological considerations. Presumably you will need to re-acclimatise yourself when you get back to Nepal to the thinner air all over again.
i.e. getting the o2 flowing sooner than you might have before you left and being watchful for DCS and other signs of hypoxia.
Just curious how you manage this as part of your risk awareness.
Safe flying, and respect, as always.

VF,
You have my mobile mate...just call for beers next time when in YSSY.
Love your perfect line up at BK, the rest of us just cut the corner into the main pad !
I hope you flew to YKAT...it's a bloody long drive, and there is a helipad very close to where you took the shot of the 4 sisters.
All the best,
Are

Thanks Broh, yaar everyone needs acclimatization & everyone needs different amounts of time to adjust. Some never do adjust & end up with altitude sickness or just end up dying & some are just lucky & don't get effected by altitude....or me it's easy; I'm one of the lucky ones

Hey Arrrj

Not sure what Your point is by Your last past re FTA?? They certainly are a legal operator with a valid AOC under the CAAN rule As we are only a domestic operator European approvals to fly are not relevant to our operations
Happy landings always
