Even if it does, most crews are going to think 'What do they know?' and just do their own thing. Seen it many times.
To a wet weary copper in the middle of nowhere, helicopters are either black magic or somebody else's problem or both.
The number of 'Ground/Maritime Emergency Service Personnel' who have a decent understanding of helicopters would be about 1 in every 50 on a good day. Murphy's law tells us that it will be her/his day off when they are really needed.
Ever heard of a concept called "Training"?
Get the EMS crews involved in the training of Ground Emergency Responders.....it is a common practice here in the United States....done every day somewhere.
You don't have to re-invent the wheel every time do you.....steal from others that are already doing what works.
