I know very little about flying helicopters and less still about EMS operations etc, however whatever mistakes were or were not made, by anyones standard this lady has got to be congratulated on her flying.

To have continued whilst injured and hovered a helicopter for over an hour which I would think is no mean feat in itself, how can anybody bring themselves to criticize this pilot.

Any mistakes made are for the authorities to investigate, I for one would be intersted in finding out who the lady is and where she trained and I will book a PPL/H there tomorrow.

To those of you out there who have displayed a little anti female in the cockpit comments I would suggest those sort of opinions should have been consigned to the last century. As an airline pilot I can tell you that in this day and age that sort of attitude is not tolerated, its all part of CRM.
