FY201 Passenger Breakdown

Coordinated Flights by Fiscal Year

The Coordination Process

An AFC flight is counted as “coordinated” when all of the following have occurred:

The Flight Request Form is completed and submitted by the potential passenger

The AFC Staff and/or Volunteer Coordinator completes the screening process

The AFC Medical Release Form is signed and returned by the passenger’s physician

The flight request is shared privately with the AFC Volunteer Pilots

If a flight is traveling outside of the 10-State AFC region, additional communication and coordination occurs with the charitable aviation organization responsible for that geographic region

A flight can be in the air within 5-7 business days from the moment the initial flight re-

quest is submitted.

Angel Flight Central completed the above process

1,945 times during FY2021!

THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS! FY2021 Grassroots Volunteerism

VOLUNTEERS “GIVING HOPE WINGS” IN 2021

I n the spirit of continuing to grow with the entrepreneurial spirit

of our founders, Angel Flight Central has hundreds of active

ground-volunteers called “Ambassadors.” As many grassroots organi-

zations find, their strength is in the networking of friends, family,

neighbors and acquaintances. AFC’s Ambassadors carry out the fol-

lowing essential activities within their own communities across AFC’s

10-State region when the nation is not suffering a pandemic.
