Emergency Services

Roof top landings are all in a days work.

Emergency Medical Services pilots fly both fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft and serve an essential function in our community.  As an EMS pilot you have a career which offers you the opportunity to save lives.

Some EMS flights transport the injured, acting as a flight ambulance and some are staffed by Doctors and Paramedics who provide treatment on-board, improving triage care.

As an EMS pilot you never know what’s coming next.  In a helicopter, you need to consider where your landing will be.  It could be on a sports-ground, a road and most likely at some point a rooftop pad at a hospital.

Fixed wing pilots also land at unusual spots.  In bush or outback situations you may land on a dirt road, or you could be fast tracked into a capital airport with priority as a mercy flight.

If you like  variety and the challenge of being part of an incredibly valuable team, perhaps EMS flying might be for you.
