-----are impacting on the ability to complete NVIS training within the original projected timeline. CHC is working with the IAA to seek approval to increase the number of its pilot trainers to carry out SAR training and operations in order to build its internal SAR-NVIS training capacity as planned, which is a critical milestone for the delivery of SAR night vision across the four bases. The associated verification by the IAA is almost complete and the IAA expects to promulgate the SAR approval for NVIS shortly.
In summary, Covid had an impact-----
