Norwegian #AirAmbulance enhances safety in single-pilot operations with a new emergency checklist for pilot incapacitation. A project conducted in 2020 measured workload and stress, leading to the development and validation of the checklist in 2021. Results showed fewer errors and reduced stress levels among Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) technical crew members. The checklist has been successfully implemented and accepted, demonstrating increased proficiency and confidence in flight operational tasks. Read the article to learn more: https://lnkd.in/ej9gTx2w

How about adding a pilot, for good measure? The missions are often difficult, even more often close to high population density and *always* high-responsibility. Operating the best avionics and AFCS is still called "flying the aircraft", and as far as I know that's still only allowed to be done by a qualified pilot. HCMs are very important and usually doing an excellent job, *but* having them actually be qualified pilots would definitely be an upgrade to safety. The nature of the job, with long waiting hours, fast reaction and sometimes really strange hours for the flights significantly increase the risk of at least lapses or disorientation, if not necessarily incapacitation. Penny-pinching is going a little bit too far, doesn't anyone else think so?
