Rotor Wash

Today we get a chance to catch up with John Hamilton of Austin Travis County to discuss how they integrate the medical crew into the cockpit and truly prescribe to making everyone in the aircraft aircrew and not just self-loading baggage. From integration into the startup procedure on the aircraft to formal training on how to manipulate the autopilot to get the aircraft on the ground in the event the pilot becomes incapacitated the training all members of the crew receive is phenomenal and truly focused creating a cohesive crew. Plus, we get a chance to hear about their new AW169 for our friends at Leonardo Helicopters. For the record we are jealous!!

ECHO Rotorwash member Joey Loehner spent 17 days in the middle of nowhere for Burning Man 2019. While running the on-site EMS system for the event, he connected with some incredible folks from around the Air Medical Industry. The ECHO Rotorwash Team felt that these folks had some awesome thoughts on leadership, the industry, and patient care. A departure from our normal content, this episode is a conversational format with some interesting members of our industry. We hope you enjoy!

This week we again head back to wild and wonderful West Virginia and Camp ECHO to hear Joey Loehner of Humboldt General Hospital present on the normalization of deviance and safety in our industry. Joey says he believes that everyone comes out of flight academy 110% focused on safety and for our first few flights we all take the extra 30 seconds, to double and triple-check everything but what do we do after 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, or 10 years? Joey addresses dealing with the issues of overcoming complacency and developing a safety mindset within your team.
