NVG - Night HEMS in other countries
HEMS Research
I would like to read the result of your work once you finish it.
It would be absolutely interesting.

I'm new in this job, I'm curious about HEMS night flight in other countries.
In Italy at night we can only fly from/to night certified helipads and airports, for what we call "secondary" services.
Therefore at night we can't be called for "primary" (wonder if you use the same words to call the transfers and the missions on the scene).
We are far from introducing NVG. I'm not sure but I would bet that at the moment only the military are equipped with.
How about your country? What missions are carried out with NVGs?
I was also surprised when at our CRM course they told us about the statistics of HEMS accidents in USA.
Many CFIT during "transfers", comparing to Europe.
Thanks
What Limits, thanks for the links
