Are the medical crew trained as co-pilots and are the pilots medically trained?
Cross training is critical and, as such, each member knows pertinent information and has a healthy respect for each other’s roles. The medical crew is considered part of the aviation team and assists the pilot in safety awareness in and about the aircraft. Medical crew assist the pilot in identifying and calling out hazards, such as other aircraft, wires, debris, and any other obstructions which may impact flight safety.The Pilots, although not employed by BMF, are an integral part of our team.
