Today, "Air ambulance firms warned"
The
Federal Aviation Administration is asking air ambulance companies
to adopt better safety practices to curb a deadly surge in
rescue helicopter crashes that have killed 60 people since
2000.
An FAA notice being sent
starting this month to all of the nation's air ambulance companies urges -- but
does not require -- the companies to set up safety programs that would help pilots
decide whether or not to lift off in risky conditions.
The notice aims to halt
fatal mistakes that have beset the industry, such as pilots flying into the ground
during ill-advised rescue missions or dispatchers sending out inexperienced crews
in darkness and bad weather.
