Very much so, but for much of the AOP's service life, those civy requirements will work fine. That's whyI would like to see TC offer crews and grey helicopters to the RCN for domestic ops in the Arctic. Moving supplies, ice recce, shuttling personal, Nav Aid repair/placement, SAR and vertical RAS can all be done by them. Currently TC supplies crews and helicopters to the CCG on contract. Extending that service to the RCN should be quite easy and would make good use of inter-Departmental capabilities. TC helicopters can short/long line supplies, in the past they have had hoisting capabilities and that could be added if the RCN felt the need.
