Hey Tazzz watch out with what you may say... because... Kamov Ka32 and HEMS in the same sentence is something that EASA may not like... and because its cheaper and better to be like that.

EASA Certificate. To be or not to be?

I do not think that the Portuguese Kamov fit the EASA certificate at all.

They are a special version for Portugal.

So special that are banned from flying into Mother Russia.



So far on public sources they are flying with a special "Permit to Fly" issued by INAC that restricts the aircraft to aerial work.

Based on that, HEMS or any passengers carrying is banned.

Just to mention one.

Be Safe.

I'm not sure I'd want to be the medical crew trying to work on someone in the back of a KA-32 in the summer.

Pls do not worry. Croatian military flying "HEMS" for 15 years already
on Mi 8MTV-1 without any civilian "permit to fly", med equipment or SOP-s..

No insurance for patient, he/she is on board on own responsibility,
even in state of unconsciousness

Service is "cheap" or "free", but recent info is cost around 7.000 euro per block
hour, without any insurance.....

One of the problem is that this company is delivering a service with no safety compromise...
A ka32 has fallen a few months ago... the next thing we hear on the media is that the maintenance publications of the productor are not in accordance with the maintenance... WTF? A ka32 is down due to publications out of date???
The ka32 were grounded for 1 month, for transmission and engines changes they say (only between helicopters), and in the first flight after grounding is lift one of the captains strikes a tree with the blades and keeps flying for 2 hours... WTF??? Only in that company!!!

EASA will take some action soon, i believe, or maybe will close soon enough so that the mess they are making can stop. Opening a tender and putting the Ka32 has PC1 and PC2 is hilarious!!!!
