Hi Maureen
I think you will find that once you have undertaken a MHOR assessment
there will be a high degree of risk before considering the impact of
ULDs. Both need to be considered and rotation, without trying to design
out some of the risk, just exposes others to similar risks.
Contact me if you wish to discuss.
Best Wishes
