As of this writing, we have been on site at the camp marmal in about five weeks. The first week after arriving was mainly spent to be in place in the accommodation and pack up the equipment that was sent previously and now recouped down here on the spot. Even the personal flight equipment has been supplemented and adapted for the environment as we meet here. On the base there was the time we needed because we were able to take over from our predecessors "Silver early learning centre Fox", helicopter dressing 10, who has been here a couple of years and implemented Tactical medevac.
Before Silver Fox went home, we were treated to a flight with HKP10 in the area east and north of the camp marmal and Mazar-e-Sharif. This is because we would get a first experience of the local conditions that airspace and the local air traffic rules. There are of course differences between the ore and Marmal. Everything from airspace class D is here instead of C, which we are used to at home, the German broken English as the mainly German air traffic controllers speak in a too poor Russian aircraft radio. Despite this, it has been pretty quick to get into the game.
The first flights we did was the so-called Local Area Orientations and shooting with our machine guns. It gives us both an acknowledgment that the weapons work, and that as a shooter hits it aiming early learning centre at.
The environment is completely different from the one we are used to from home Sweden. It's a landscape with different areas of the desert, high mountains and buildings. Forests and lakes are not, and the only trees that are growing inside the camp.
In order to have high readiness requires that everything is prepared and rehearsed. When an alarm all know exactly what will be done, who is doing what, and everyone also knows where the equipment is to be carried out to the helicopters.
This has been practiced early learning centre in Sweden before we went down and continued to practice on site to tune the last details. There are many small things that need to click to the time to start to be reduced as much as possible.
If everything runs, and no "messes" we the way in a very short time, even shorter than the requirement. It provides a margin that allows us to fix any complications that can and probably will occur and still manage a startup within the ordered maximum time.
The training flights, we regularly carry out, we fly in an area called Blue Box. It is an area around the camp marmal that are considered to be relatively safe from a hotperspektiv. We must not forget that Afghanistan is not the safest place to practice fly. But despite everything, we have to master the environment that exists here and that we may be forced to land in order to rescue someone who has been injured.
The environment is influencing the flight the most. The first thing we focused on is to land in the dust-rich environment found here. In the dry environment appears a dust swirl up when nedsvepet from the rotor reaches the ground during landing. The phenomenon called Dust Landings may result in that as the pilot totally loses References (Brown Out) for a short time and must rely on the rest of the crew. Communication between pilots and cabin staff who direct the helicopter is very important and without the skilled mission specialists and flight engineer we have in the cabin, many landings simply not be possible. We already have a habit of landing in swirling snow and although it resembles snölandningar it's not quite the same thing. We have the support of our American colleagues at home on the ore and at Fort Irving early learning centre in California developed a technique that is safe and that we practice and consolidates here in the Blue Box.
Darkness is another impact that we have to master. We have a few weeks ago had standby during daylight hours. In a few weeks we turn to keep the same readiness throughout the day. For us to be secure in the darkness, we must also continue to practice with the NVG, Night Vision Goggles.
It's the next part of our package of training flights that we have now embarked. There are questions to be straightened out. For example, how much light is reflected from the ground in the desert terrain and how much dust we can land in our NVG. This question and many others, we will find out the answer to the coming weeks so that we can safety say to the head of the RC North in Afghanistan to ICEPAC is in Medevacberedskap around the clock.
