Land and Live Critical Decisions

Land and Live Critical Decisions

This video supports Helicopter Association International’s (HAI) Land & LIVE program. Strengthening awareness among flight crews that a safe precautionary landing is always a viable option should conditions deteriorate beyond the capabilities of the pilot or the helicopter. Taking advantage of the Land & LIVE option will always produce a favorable outcome compared to pressing on into worsening conditions. Join HAI in breaking the accident chain by implementing conservative aeronautical decision making (ADM) before, during and after each flight. Lives depend on it.

Helicopter Shopping is defined as repeatedly calling multiple helicopter air ambulance providers after being turned down for patient transport due to bad weather in the hopes of getting a provider to come pick up your patient.
