Croatia
Sort of secondary medical transport performed by Mil M8MTV on famous
calculation price of 1.500 USD per block hour, no insurance, no proper
pay for pilots.Area covered only Dalmatia (part of Adriatic seaside and islands).
Golden hour rule, only in exceptions, one heavy train incident only 6 km
from helicopter base performed 1h 15 min response in summer 2009.
thanks to very complicated (difficult) system of public-military dispatching

During year 2005. canceled tender for real HEMS, winner company
Hiko left business 2 years after. One EC145 and one BK117C1 used,
AOG support from EC Donauwörth assumed like very poor.

In 2009. new Air traffic law strictly prohibit charity HEMS, only
commercial JAR Ops 3 with AOC allowed.

Local medical law regulations strictly insist on medical crew of one
doctor and one medic wich in case of night JAR OPS3 means minimal
crew of 4 plus one patient, therefore some smaller twin like 902 or 135
can not be used.

In Emergency situation on 50.000 km2 of land, more than thousand
islands and 1500 km of highways, can be best described like: not very promising...

PS SAR and Fire Fighting on Adriatic performed with same Mi8MTVs from above
