It was a different environment working during the hours of darkness compared to a typical daytime exercise. In the daytime, it is very clear and easy to see how things are going when you approach the helicopter or conduct rescue operations inside. However, I felt some difficulty conducting rescue operations in the night time but it was a very good opportunity for me to sharpen my skills.
