AERONAUTICAL DECISIONMAKING FOR AIR AMBULANCE ADMINISTRATORS

The manual discusses five of the most critical administrative aeronautical decision areas. The treatment is brief to ensure that the important, basic aeronautical limits will be read and understood by the largest possible audience. The concerns are: accident characteristics, pilot characteristics, weather restrictions, training needs, and risk management. Each of these concerns is discussed in a summ ary format. The summaries begin with a concise statement of the problem. The statement is followed by a discussion of the government regulations, an explanation of the underlying reasons for the limitation, and recommended solutions an administrator could implement to reduce the impact of, or eliminate, the risk. The summary material is supplemented by appropriate references for use by the reader who would like to explore one or more of these areas in greater detail.
