Medical Flight Category
 

Hi guys,

Just a quick question!

The other day when flying I heard a medical flight get asked if he was a Category A medical flight or not. I used to do medical flights and never heard that before?

Have they been categorised on importance now etc? If so where do I find the details on it?

Cheers,

FBP

When you say medical flight, could it have been a 'Helimed' callsign?

I don't know if it's standard, but the Air Ambulance around my home area uses a callsign suffix to denote their mode of ops. 'Helimed 99 Echo' is used on an emergency, 'Helimed 99 Alpha' is for positioning afterwards... might it have been that, i.e. ATC querying the suffix?

Just a theory and it may/may not be the right answer in this instance.

Try AIC 95/2007 (Yellow 248), section 2. :8

Gentlemen



Does this thread really need any attention ? NO

The A I C Documents says it all.



Stop wasting everbodys time and leave the threads for Important/Relevance

I am not nor is anybody intrested where the flight was from/to

If its an emergency flight it gets Priority



Good Night

I take it you don't get invited out much learjet50?

Lighten up! I actually find this rather interesting...of course I wouldn't stay in to read it.

PPRUNE is the perfect place to ask things like this...If you're not interested, don't read it...even more to the point, don't waste your energy commenting on it!

Why do you have to be so rude. PPRuNe is for all folks to discuss all things aviation, no one needs your approval. If you don't like it or it bores you don't read it.
And goodnight to you sir.
