CareFlight

Detailed Assessment of Emergency Response Helicopter Sites

Avlaw Aviation Consulting, having been known to CareFlight New South Wales through their charitable financial support over the previous seven years, requested specialist aero-medical technical and regulatory advice. In particular Avlaw Aviation Consulting was requested to review and assess the NSW Ambulance Service base specifications tender requirements and determine if their current helicopter performance capabilities satisfied these criteria and also if they aligned with future Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) regulatory requirements for CareFlight’s contracted aeromedical services. Utilising the services of Avlaw Aviation Consulting’s experienced rescue-services rotary specialist and a rotary regulatory specialist lawyer, Avlaw Aviation Consulting was able to positively affirm that their current and proposed contractual services conformed to requirements thereby alleviating the necessity of costly equipment and helipad sight variations.
