Air Ambulance Question

[STEVE CANYON]

Hello:

A question for those of you who work air ambulance operations. What kind of support staff, outside of aircrew, medical, and mechanics are they required to have? Any response will be greatly appreciated.

Air Ambulance Requirements

Steve,
You must have an Air Carrier Certificate with Operations Specifications authorizing Air Ambulance. You must have insurance for this type of Operation. You must have the aircraft configured for this type of operation which usually requires an AMT to keep things up. The Aeromedical crew will usually consist of the Hospital's own trained Nurses, Doctors, Surgeons, and Coordinators. You can go independant too, which requires your own trained Flight Nurses and Doctors and Equipment. I hope this helps.
