I see none of your aircraft have wire strike cutters. I guess like everything else
the risk assessment is done on the job.

Flying this kind of extreme haze is ****e, scary & very serious, using the up-to-date terrain page to help see ahead. Forward Vis is zero, but You can see the ground through the chin bubble

VF, regarding 'Jet Danger", I just can't help it. When the time came for me to switch to other types (212, 412, 206, R44,..), Gazelle already formed me and left other machines a VERY big shoes to fill.
I must admit though, seeing that 'Amazing Helicopter Flying Snoopy' on Youtube together with 'Top of the World: photos from Nepal' thread here, I'm starting to slacken a bit... a lot.
One other thing. A little while ago you said:
What is the reason of this slow start (at low) but outperforming AS350 at the and (at high) of 206?
Is it a matter of it's engine , or it's rotor characteristics, or both?
I'm apologizing to you and others if I suffocated the thread a bit.
Thanks

Brother the BA is a gret machine which will carry more than a 206B always below 10,000', But at a higher $$$price. Nearing the usefull breathing ability of the B & BA the 206 will lift the same at 16,000'ish so up there is the same working load. the 206B with C20R will outperform the B & BA. Working usefully up to probably 18-19,000'

the JetBox Rocks
Namaste 311kph
the Jetbanger is one of the most under utilized machines at high altitude & DA, probably no one was game to push them where we do? oh & she (JetBox) is the safest Rotory machine ever built, bar none
Sure the B & BA is a bigger machine than the Jettie hence the higher carrying capacity, but as the DA & altitude goes up, they fall away very quickly, only to match the JetBox in performance at ceiling but at a much higher operating price
Cheers & always land back happy

There are some other expert pilots on other threads who would not venture in to your territory VF.
The pilot selection interview must be interesting with your company.
I guess your fellow pilots have to fit the same parameters?
What I'd give to spend a month with you guys
Do you feed engine / airframe info back to the manufacturers?
