Helicopter Jobs 2022
Out of interest, why the preference for non medical Technical Crew Members? Would it not be easier/more practical to train your HEMS Paramedics/CCP's as TCM's? This would allow significantly more payload for missions. Not such an issue on the 169, but certainly beneficial if deployed on a 902. This is the crewing model used in the majority of UK HEMS units and seems to work well.
MAGPAS has operated with non licensed, non medical TCM's for 10 years, 7 of those on 902 and that included many shifts with 3 person medical teams in the cabin, due medical training/supervision requirements. As you point out, the 169 has now made all this much easier.

yes, that could be a challenge
Crewing model in UK HEMS is migrating more and more to 2x aviation front enders and the medical team in the cabin, just like London has always done, (albeit with 2 pilots)

Or just stick to VFR day only HEMS with single pilot. You cannot have it both ways…
Very insightful 😝, but maybe you should consider that the ‘dead weight’ might just avoid dead crew! An extra “parademic” or doc is useless if the aircraft crashes on the way to the incident, on the way to the hospital or on the way back to base. Don’t wish away extra aircrew, as teams are continually asked or expected to do more than a single pilot can reasonable be expected to cope with. That route leads to the USA model 🤪

Depends. The UK has single pilot doing NVIS IFR HEMS quite happily with the right aircraft, training and operational support (min 2000 hrs of the right sort of flying - often ex military but not always. In the US they try to do HEMS in marginal VFR with limited IFR skillsets with severe commercial pressure. Different operating environment.

Can the single NVIS Pilot land at unsurveyed (crash) sites at night in the UK or is there two "crew" with goggs?

Yes - the single pilot can land at unsurveyed sites on NVIS as long as they have a suitably qualified TCM (aviation trained paramedic) beside them wearing goggles.
