Medical Helicopter Misses the Hospital Landing Pad and Then Explodes! | ARCH Air N356AM

In this episode, I will tell the story of the fatal ARCH Air Medical helicopter crash that took place on March 6, 2015 in downtown St. Louis, MO, U.S.A.  The initial impact itself was listed as survivable, but this medical helicopter was not equipped with a crash resistant fuel tank, and subsequently exploded after impact and killed the pilot.  
There are hundreds of AS350s, H125s, and EC130s across the world that are used for medical evacuation and the tourism industry.  While the FAA, Airbus, and the EASA all acknowledge that this airframe tends to explode or catch on fire after impact,  none of them have required the available crash resistant fuel tanks/systems, which are readily available, to be installed.

Medical Helicopter Crash | Was the pilot properly trained? | The story of SkyLife 4 - N408FC

In this episode, I will tell the story of the fatal SkyLife 4 medical helicopter crash that took place on December 10, 2015 just north of Bakersfield, CA.  The pilot, flight paramedic, flight nurse, and the patient, were all killed in this accident which occurred in a perfectly functioning helicopter.  The pilot may have had a lack of training and experience with this model helicopter (Bell 407), the advanced avionics, and did not use night vision goggles even though they were required by the operator.  I will also briefly hit on the over use of HEMS in the U.S. as well as how Worker's Compensation can come into play, even in fatal accidents such as this.  
I am very curious to know your thoughts on the overuse of HEMS in the U.S.!  If you have a story you'd like me to discuss please let me know in the comments below.

Survival Flight Medical Helicopter Crashes in Ohio | Is Culture to Blame? The story of N191SF

In this episode, I will tell the FULL story of the Survival Flight fatal medical helicopter crash that took place on January 29, 2019 in southern Ohio.  This flight was operated by Viking Aviation, LLC, DBA Survival Flight, Inc.  The pilot, flight nurse, and flight paramedic were all killed in this crash.  Rumors were heavy that a poor safety culture played a role in the root cause for this accident.  Watch the full episode and let me know if you think that there was far more to the cause of this accident and whether or not you believe that timber thieves shot this helicopter out of the sky in the early hours of a snowy and icy January morning.
