Are you getting confused between the number of pilots required to fly the a/c and the number of pilots required to staff the rota?

WNAA and DLRAA are single-pilot operations (as most HEMS operations are). Their pilots are all employed by Sloane Helicopters. A small number work full time on the Air Ambulance and a larger number do occasional shifts.

Does that clarify things?
