PHI Air Medical - Beyond The Call

At PHI Air Medical, safety drives our every decision. It's why we outfit each helicopter we fly with the highest order technology and subject our crews to the most rigorous protocols anywhere. And it's why we ensure that night-vision goggles and state-of-the-art traffic warning systems are essential and required components of every air medical craft we operate. No air medical company in the world has made and acted upon this commitment - as we are the only one to have fully operational night vision goggle technology on all helicopters we own across the country.

Over the past ten years, our parent company has remained well below the national accident rate average. And in 2007, PHI Air Medical itself received the prestigious Vision Zero Aviation Safety Award for its efforts to promote aviation safety within the air medical community.

We utilize the most advanced satellite tracking to monitor aircraft position, air traffic and weather, as well as an Enhanced Operation Control Program staffed by senior pilots to assist air medical teams and provide 24/7 operational decision-making expertise. Our internal aviation training program has set new standards for pilot preparation and includes instrument flight, Instrument Meteorological Conditions avoidance (IMC), conflict resolution, air medical resource management, and actual scene response flight scenarios.

Our commitment to operating the safest operation in the world includes:

All helicopters are equipped with world-class night vision goggle technology
Initiation of industry-leading Enhanced Operational Control to dramatically improve the decision-making process prior to acceptance of missions
"Four to Go - One to Say No" protocol to engage each professional to ensure safety standards on every flight
Achievement of 100% compliance of Traffic Collision Avoidance Warning Systems on every aircraft - far ahead of any other provider
Implementation of proprietary Satellite Tracking System, which automatically updates aircraft position and key elements of the flight track
Introducing an audible altitude warning system on 100% of our aircraft
New emergency locator transmitters with upgraded military frequency installed on 100% of our aircraft

PHI Air Medical continues to improve safety protocols well beyond the industry standard - our vision is to lead far ahead of any other air medical company in the world. It is our vision of what is right and best for our people, our patients, and our customers.
