Landing Zone Training
Why provide landing zone training?
Simple. To make sure that your team is safe, efficient and to make your critical calls run smoother. It is important that your crew is educated in selecting and preparing landing zones, communicating with the pilot, patient preparation, loading of patients and powering down the aircraft in the event of an emergency.

Request your Med Evac safety poster today!
Med Evac is pleased to offer you a safety poster that you can display at your facility or agency. The poster has some good tips and reminders when operating around an aircraft. Please send an e-mail to the member below with your mailing address and we will send it off. Request Safety Poster: |
Approaching the aircraft
As shown below, the helicopter will normally land into the wind, unless a hazard prohibits this action. After the helicopter lands, for safety reasons, do not approach the aircraft until a flight member, or the pilot, instructs you to do so. Always approach the aircraft from the 12 O'Clock position. This makes it easier for the pilot, as well as the crew members to be able to quickly stop your approach if needed.
Loading the patient
Most often the patient will be loaded with the helicopter rotor system spinning. This saves valuable time when it comes to patient care. Please ensure that you, and the patient have no loose clothing or items that may become a hazard. Lifting help is always appreciated, but when it comes to the operation of the patient litter, please leave the operation of this to the flight team.
