Helimed II

[JMBIII]

On the pad awaiting a call.

 

Overhead NZWR headed to McLeod Bay helipad. A tramper has been injured on the Mt. Manaia Whangarei Heads Track.

 

Approaching the helipad from the northwest. Careful of the wires.

 

The paramedics have gone a short way up the track to retrieve the patient. (Going to have the roadway department come out and cut the brush back ! )

 

A short 7 minute flight and we're atop the Whangarei Hospital helipad.

 

Waiting for the paramedics to return from the ER.

 

lifting for a short hop over the ridge to home.

 

NEST base ahead.

 

Mission complete. 1 hour, 16 minutes -  21 minutes flight time, 55 minutes on the ground.

Beautiful scenery and great narration.

Skilful flying too, my helipad is the whole of the North Island. If I get it  down somewhere there I have done well.

Well done! That looks like a busy flight!

Excellent JM!  I really enjoyed these and you're skill at flying the AS365 is mighty fine!

Thanks for the comments, gents.  Fictitious scenario flight but it has more than likely occurred. Look at some pictures of Whangarei Head and the track (trail) up it and you'll see why there's a dedicated helipad at the foot!

 

Thanks, Jack. However my  skill in flying that helo is just about zero. It is the hardest one to get a handle on. I can do much, much better with the MilViz MD 530 or the stock H-60. By the way that's a NB FS9 ported over Sikoksky S-76.

Dang too early yet again, how could I not see the tail section?  I can fly the AS365 like it's a Cessna, easy peasy.  It's a lot of fun.  But I now stand corrected, thanks!
