    This training is designed to introduce oil observers to HelicopterSafety Awareness.

    Helicopter companies will conduct safety briefings with you

    when you arrive at their facilities.

    This product is designed to provide oil observers with a basicintroduction awareness of Helicopter Safety.

    BE PREPAIRED

    Landing Zone (LZ) operations is a heads upoperation that can be established with alimited amount of personnel.

    NO FREELANCING ALL team members work together.

    SafetyWind sock or marker tape to indicate winddirection

    Landing zone Lighted (dusk to dawn) Security perimeter around landing LZ Fire Extinguisher Equipment (If possible)

    Observe and Report Obstacles Around ornear the LZ (Trees, Poles & Wires)

    Safety Considerations

  • 7/28/2019 Mod 01 Helicopter Safety Rev

    8/28

    Keep in mind

    Dirt and snow can produce ZERO visibility

    situations for the Pilot

    Loose objects will be blown into the air Can be sucked into engine intakes

    Can strike and damage main rotor blades

    and/or tail rotor Can strike ground personnel

    Hazards at the LZ

  • 7/28/2019 Mod 01 Helicopter Safety Rev

    9/28

    Perimeter markers Traffic cones on their sides

    Commercial flashing colored strobe lights

    White lights blend in from 300 feet Flashlights that can be secured

    Do NOT use

    People Caution or marker tape

    Making a Temporary LZ

  • 7/28/2019 Mod 01 Helicopter Safety Rev

    10/28

    Most Helicopters will attempt radio contact prior to landing. If available, use PA SAR Channel 155.160 MHz or use air bandschannels. At a last resort, establish a radio relay to incident Command Post for a landline to Helicopters organizations Flight Operations Center.

    The pilot / flight crew when in route to your location will need toknow

    Information on Observer(s) or patient. Most Report on your LZ conditions. Describe known

    hazards by their direction with respect to the LZ like:

    there is a group of trees approximately 75 high

    and 300 to the southeast corner of the LZ over.

    In Flight Communications

  • 7/28/2019 Mod 01 Helicopter Safety Rev

    11/28

    Pre Landing Approach

    The flight crew will perform a Safety lap High Reconnaissance

    Aircraft will circle LZ looking for obstructions

    and hazards

    Side door may open to give a better sight of the

    LZ as we approach

    Ground Team role

    Do NOT assume that the flight crew can see what you

    see

    If you see something that is dangerous, wave

    the aircraft off from the approach

    When possible, helicopter will depart INTO the wind

    Potential Landing Glide Slope

    Landing

    Helicopter rotor wash

    High winds

    Flying debris

    Personal safety

    Secure loose objects prior to approach

    Eye protection!

    Hearing Protection! Extra vigilance in preventing people from

    walking/driving into LZ

  • 7/28/2019 Mod 01 Helicopter Safety Rev

    16/28

    Landing

    Do not shine lights directly at aircraft, especially

    at night

    No head lights

    No camera flash bulbs

    Do not approach aircraft until signaled by flight crew

    Once aircraft on the ground, set perimeter guardsto prevent people walking into dangerous situation

    Bystanders at 200 feet or greater from LZ

    Landing

  • 7/28/2019 Mod 01 Helicopter Safety Rev

    18/28

    Approaching the Aircraft

    Wait for flight crew to signal for you

    Maintain eye contact with pilot when

    possible

    Approach from front of aircraft

    Assistance with loading patient

    Secure loose items

    Remove hats, scarves, etc

    Hearing / Eye protection

  • 7/28/2019 Mod 01 Helicopter Safety Rev

    19/28

    Approaching the Aircraft

    Approach aircraft or bring patient to aircraft from front or fromside

    Do not go near tail rotor

    Patient transfer to flight crews stretcher takes place prior toloading.

    - Loaded head first

    - Once front of the stretcher is into aircraft, no

    additional assistance required

    - Designed for one person use

    Exit towards nose or towards sides of aircraft

    - NEVER exit to the rear of the aircraft

    - NEVER exit behind the aircraft

    Functional Areas Around the Aircraft

    23/28

    Approaching the Aircraft

    Things to take into consideration

    - Slope of LZ

    - Can decrease clearance between rotor blade and you

    - Can decrease clearance between ground and tail rotor

    - Must be considered when approaching aircraft

    - DO NOT APPRAOCH ON THE SIDE WITH

    DIMINISHED CLEARANCE!!

    SAFETY is PARAMOUNT

    Safety is paramount when transportingpersonnel or Critical Care patient by Helicopter.

    Any compromise or short cuts are not acceptable.
