2024 — Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1020]
Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) operations require operators to minimize environmental risks through comprehensive risk analysis, crew training, equipment, and detailed operating procedures documented in the operations manual. Mission-specific risk assessments are crucial. Relevant manual extracts must be accessible to the commissioning organization. Flight plans are simplified for non-surveyed sites.
