Help to fix search ops oversight failings

The AQE Review of the Oversight of Search and Rescue (SAR) Aviation Operations in Ireland was carried out by a panel of independent experts and follows the interim safety recommendation report delivered to the Government last March into the Rescue 116 accident in 2017.
