It’ll definitely be a struggle, you need three aca’s ready to go at any one time for this type of operation.  I’m actually surprised they’d go for this type, anything on retractable gear operating IFR needs a team of type endorsed guys (drivers and technicians) with ground power (electric and hydraulic).  A Blackhawk would be more suitable for field ops of this nature, it’s tried and true remotely globally.  Even a 76 would be more suitable in Canada.

Since there is no work hour limitations on engineers, no problem, just wake em up every hour for fuel and they're going to be awake during the day anyways.

I just looked this operator up, they have two N2 and three N3’s registered to them.  I didn’t realize they had that many, they should be well equipped for the job.  

I think they bought a few after winning the BC Coast Pilot contract that's yet to begin. That's probably why they're able to offer up that machine.

 

Good for Talon, they seem like a well run operation.

I know nothing about them, I just vaguely remember their jetranger and twinstar many many moons ago.  They’re definitely expanding going into this realm.  Very exciting times for this type of expansion for sure.
