bend the rules.....not at all!
An EMS operator CANNOT bend the rules just because of the task at hand.
Transport Canada allows, quite LEGALLY, certain procedures/ actions during a medevac flight( as all Canadian pilots know).
XNR, what exactly do you consider bending or breaking of rules?????
EMS op's falls under air taxi op's in Canada. All Canadian pilots( fixed and rotary) know that when the term MEDEVAC is used, that has priority over everything except an a/c in distress/ emergency.
I have heard from some heli-ems guys that they can do whatever is required..." to save human life". WRONG!!!!!!
Leaving rules aside, I second what Thomas coupling stated!
