The air crew


 

The Pilots

Our pilots are highly skilled ex-military helicopter aviation specialists.  Their flying skills are vital in landing our paramedics as close to the scene of an incident as possibile.  Their ability to land a 3 tonne helicopter in ad-hoc landing sites is inspirational and their work is vital in saving lives across the region.

The Paramedics

Our paramedics (pictured right) are seconded on placement from the North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust for a two year term.  They receive extensive additional training in navigation and safety skills, prior to becoming aircrew and receive regular refresher courses throughout their term of service.
