From the perspective of a seasoned helicopter air ambulance pilot, S. G. Nix shares his insight to help firefighters, paramedics, and first responders confidently select and prepare helicopter air ambulance landing zones to standards that are accepted in the air medical industry. Written specifically for the front-line professionals who may be required to work directly with helicopter air ambulance flight crews, the diagrams and detailed information in this book thoroughly cover safety procedures, contingency plans, and other considerations that will help professionals manage all aspects of helicopter air ambulance landing zone operations. If you are willing to take on the challenge of working in a helicopter air ambulance landing zone, use this book to prepare yourself for the day when your knowledge of this subject may be the difference between life and death.

Helicopter Air Ambulance, Commercial Helicopter, and Part 91 Helicopter Operations (US Federal Aviation Administration Regulation) (FAA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Helicopter Air Ambulance, Commercial Helicopter, and Part 91 Helicopter Operations (US Federal Aviation Administration Regulation) (FAA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 This final rule addresses helicopter air ambulance, commercial helicopter, and general aviation helicopter operations. To address an increase in fatal helicopter air ambulance accidents, the FAA is implementing new operational procedures and additional equipment requirements for helicopter air ambulance operations. This final rule also increases safety for commercial helicopter operations by revising requirements for equipment, pilot testing, and alternate airports. It increases weather minimums for all general aviation helicopter operations. Many of these requirements address National Transportation Safety Board safety recommendations, and are already found in FAA guidance. Today's changes are intended to provide certificate holders and pilots with additional tools and procedures that will aid in preventing accidents. This book contains: - The complete text of the Helicopter Air Ambulance, Commercial Helicopter, and Part 91 Helicopter Operations (US Federal Aviation Administration Regulation) (FAA) (2018 Edition) - A table of contents with the page number of each section

Air Ambulance and Commercial Helicopter Operations, Part 91 Helicopter Operations, and Part 135 Aircraft Operations - Safety Initiatives (US Federal Aviation Administration Regulation) (FAA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Air Ambulance and Commercial Helicopter Operations, Part 91 Helicopter Operations, and Part 135 Aircraft Operations - Safety Initiatives (US Federal Aviation Administration Regulation) (FAA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 This proposed rule addresses air ambulance and commercial helicopter operations, part 91 helicopter operations, and load manifest requirements for all part 135 aircraft. From 2002 to 2008, there has been an increase in fatal helicopter air ambulance accidents. To address these safety concerns, the FAA is proposing to implement operational procedures and require additional equipment on board helicopter air ambulances. Many of these proposed requirements currently are found in agency guidance publications and would address National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) safety recommendations. Some of these safety concerns are not unique to the helicopter air ambulance industry and affect all commercial helicopter operations. Accordingly, the FAA also is proposing to amend regulations pertaining to all commercial helicopter operations conducted under part 135 to include equipment requirements, pilot training, and alternate airport weather minima. The changes are intended to provide certificate holders and pilots with additional tools and procedures that will aid in preventing accidents.

This report contains instructions for operating a model that is an automated procedure for evaluating designated sites as helicopter landing zones. The model is comprised of three independent computer programs run sequentially. Program 1 (FTHEL) evaluates the site in terms of generalized conditions of slope, microrelief, and soil strength as related to the requirements set by certain characteristics of the helicopter that is to land. The program determines whether the site can provide a full-touch zone, a skid-touch zone, a nontouch zone, or no landing zone at all, and computes the minimum departure angle for the specified helicopter if a landing zone is possible. Program 2 (FTJPRH) is an automated mathematical procedure for predicting the size and shape of a clearing in a forested area by considering blast forces from a bomb explosion, tree stem strength, stem diameter, and distance from ground zero (GZ), the center of the explosion. The clearing is described by a vegetation profile of tree remnant height versus the distance from GZ. Program 3 (FTJPHL) of the model is an automated procedure for evaluating a clearing by estimating how many trees must be removed from a clearing produced by a high-yield, air-dropped munition in order to use the clearing as a full-touch helicopter landing zone. The output is the number of tree remnants that must be removed to satisfy the landing requirements of a specified helicopter.
