Factors Affectina Serulces
14W
➢ Helicopter mechanical and maintenance issues increase with age of
helicopters, including down time - New fleet will improve down time
➢ Number of trauma patients in need of flight services at the same
time - New fleet will improve flight availability
➢ Reduced number of non-critical patient flights to ensure availability
and readiness for more critical patients
➢ Medical services available at local hospitals
➢ Increased availability of ground transports (several new transport
companies)
➢ Weather / FAA restrictions
➢ Staffing challenges in recruitment of highly specialized trained
professionals for aviation
➢ Ensuring that critical care and rapid transports are provided the
highest standard of care, when standard critical transport
availability decreases 10
