Dear Maritime New Zealand,
I am writing to request a summary of jobs and associated costs for land based jobs in 2024 and 2025, where RCCNZ has tasked a recuse helicopter from the Otago Southland Rescue Helicopter Trust.
I understand details of patients etc cannot be shared, but I am wanting a summary including the following information:
- Job date, start time and finish time
- Summary of events, including activation method (ie beacon, inReach,etc), job location (lat/long), number in party, extraction method (ie winch, landed, etc), reason for activation (ie broken ankle, bluffed, hypothermic, lost, etc)
- Result of tasking, i.e. patient flown to Dunstan Hospital, dropped back at vehicle, etc.
- Costs billed to RCCNZ from the Otago Southland Rescue Helicopter Trust for the job.
Yours faithfully,
Nate
