OK, I need some real world pilots or someone familiar with US FAR's who can help me find some info:
I'm searching really hard to find the US FAA regulations on flights being designated as a "Lifeguard" flight, but cannot find anything yet. I want to know if it is illegal to designate your aircraft as a "Lifeguard" flight, when no patient is on board, and the flight is not going to recieve a patient upon arrival to its destination.
The reason is this company I work with is notorious for fudging regulations, and until the FAA finds out someone is at risk of getting hurt or killed due to this companies poor practices. This topic is one of many that should get them in trouble!
If anyone could find a link before I do to the actual regs please post it! I greatly appreciate anyones help!
