Tonight we were skids up in 6 minutes for a mountain trauma, flew a straight-in at 2,500 MSL, and I kept the medic steady by calling every turn and easing power changes to keep MAP flat. What pre-launch or en route habits shave minutes for you without rattling the patient or their lines?
I find briefing the crew on the route in advance helps. It keeps everyone synchronized. Any specific challenges during your recent launches?
It sounds like keeping the medic steady is key. I’ve noticed that a quick weight and equipment check before getting airborne can help a lot too — kind of like double-checking if you packed your snacks for the road trip! Got any tips for the actual landing phase?
