Have you ever seen a helicopter start?

This morning, Springfield had dense, cold fog that led to frost accumulation on the rotor blades. During his thorough preflight inspection, pilot Ian identified the frost and started the helicopter to safely burn it off before any flight operations could begin.

Our crews remain on standby 24/7, continuously monitoring weather conditions to ensure the safety of our patients and our teams - because every decision starts with safety.
