I know the VP guys do it, but what's the point for the -60 guys? Don't you have a PCL?About 10 years ago, DAPS tried to mandate that they would not print NATOPS manuals anymore. The "staff" there tried to argue that there is not a need for hard copy pubs so they would just issue the NFM on CDs
They we showed them page 2 of the H-60 NFM which states "a copy of this manual shall be carried in the aircraft". We asked how we could use the CD in flight...
After their heads exploded, "they" decided that they would not produce hard copy pubs as a cost savings measure. So the squadrons were forced to bring the CD back to the local DAPS (or Kinkos) to get pubs published. So the publisher saved money and passed the expenses on to the customer!
