The night flight concept at DRF Luftrettung includes their own modified helicopters for flying in the dark, the deployment of two pilots with instrument rating qualifica-tions, a satellite navigation system with a digital map, adherence to special ap-proach profiles as well as the use of night vision goggles and high intensity search-lights. “We offer professional air rescue from one source. We set the highest standards for all parts of our work,” Dr Huber continued. “We provide further training for our pilots with our own experienced flight instructors, such as in using night vision goggles or for new helicopter types. We are also committed to developments in emergency medicine: we regularly test new medical equipment on board our helicopters and introduce them to all stations if they prove useful for our patients. Any necessary modifications to our helicopters can be carried out in our design organization.” Highest standards in aviation What makes DRF Luftrettung a key contributor to safety, quality and innovation in air rescue is its own Operation Center at the Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden International Airport, Germany. Approximately 130 dedicated engineers ensure the airworthiness of the helicopter and ambulance jet aircraft fleets, 365 days a year. The DRF Luftrettung’s Sales Department offers a complete range of services to private or commercial customers as well as to other aviation operators. National and interna-tional customers benefit not only from the extensive expertise of DRF Luftrettung in air rescue and technical services, but also from an array of flight operation training courses. Emergency rescue in the Alps The Austrian HEMS bases of ARA Flugrettung, which also belongs to DRF Luftrettung, are faced with special challenges. The helicopters stationed in Tyrol and Carinthia are equipped with a winch to provide rapid assistance for emergencies in the high altitude regions of the Alps. State-of-the-art Type H 145 helicopters have been used at the stations since last spring. DRF Luftrettung is also involved in the AP³ Luftrettung network at another station in Balzers/Liechtenstein with day and night time operations.
