The study is based on actual helicopter air ambulance accidents. They focus on the importance of decision making and judgement during all phases of flight. Improving safety is a responsibility shared by hospital administrators, health vendors, chief pilots, head nurses, pilots, air medics, dispatchers and physicians. These accident synopses are the first element of a multi-volume set of training materials designed to significantly reduce the helicopter air ambulance accident rate and to keep it under control. The other volumes include the following: Aeronautical Decision Making for Pilots; Aeronautical Decision Making for the Air Ambulance Helicopter; Pilots: Situational Awareness Exercises; Risk Management for Air Ambulance Helicopters Operators; and Aeronautical Decision Making for Air Ambulance Helicopter Program Administrators.
