Morning all,

 

This may sound like a stupid question, but where in the hotel are the rules for night time operations? I have searched the paper rules and can't find squat on it.

 

The reason I'm asking is because I'm working on a hypothetical scenario about a night surface action between the Argentine and Royal Navy units in 1982 and can't find any data on whether the Lynx helos used by each side were VFR only or not. If the helo's were not able to fly it would greatly complicate targeting because the aircraft would have to use radar. The RN's use of Sea Skua's would also be greatly curtailed.

 

Many thanks in advance.

Let me chase the night question up in my rules when i get home.

 

VFR?

Visual Flight Rules?

yes....I spent a good portion of yesterday looking thru my rules set to find it but came up blank.

 

Later

There is some good information in the Visual sensor section of the rules 4.5.5 and later but am also not seeing anything specific to whether flight ops are possible.

 

Sea state info for helo ops from ships 3.3.5.4 but again doesn't answer your question.

 

Sounds like a question for the Admiralty Trilogy group
