Must agree with Mark086, Koala AW119 Ke is much better choice for HEMS
and hoist, have enough power on hot and high, rear cabin is just enough
for 190 cm stretcher, and have combined interior option with 2 stretchers
and one to two (small) attendants, both can be stored in extend cargo bay and
6 pax can seat. Space for medical instrumentation is limited and O2 installation
must be in cargo area too.

5A purchased recently around 6 units for HEMS, have been in one, last year....
better choice than EC130 for sure.

Please do not forget JAR OPS 3 limitation for single HEMS machines....

PS(pilots must be small people, otherwise trouble with cockpit space..,
I am 191cm, 98 kg )
