If you have learned anything new to the world of aviation or simply enjoyed what portions of medevac helicopter flights are like please like, share, comment. I enjoy getting people's feedback and am always learning new things.
Ever since my time in Upstate NY with Mercy Flight Central it has been on my mind to get my crews familiar with the avionics on the EC135 to assist them if the pilot became incapacitated. Avionics, more specifically, the autopilot and Garmin 430 Nav/Comm. My ultimate goals are not only to teach basic aircraft control with simple button pushing but also to have them be able to know who to communicate with, navigate via GPS to a suitable airport, and possibly perform a run-on landing, all by pushing buttons.
It was a beautiful morning at the AirCare4, based at the Front Royal, VA airport. Flight Paramedic Lindsey and Flight Nurse John were my medical crew onboard. In a previous shift Lindsey and I spent about an hour of ground school in the aircraft, going over how everything worked and the process involved. Today's flight was an introduction to applying what she had learned. This type of training is not required by PHI, but have been working on a personal cheat sheet/checklist to assist in the task.
Batteries went dead unfortunately.
It is a wonderful privilege to be part of the aviation world. May we all never stop learning how to do things better and safer!
