This is the crewing model used in the majority of UK HEMS units and seems to work well.
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)

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.

I don't think it will spread any more. The extra pilot is a 90kg dead weight at scene and if it's a choice between a pilot and a parademic or a doc or even fuel I know what the medics would rather have at scene. Night/24 HR ops is different.

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 🤪

Or just stick to VFR day only HEMS with single pilot. You cannot have it both ways…

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.

US HEMS VFR mins in uncontrolled class G airspace are 800/2 for local area day flights. Mountainous, non local night flights stretch to 1500/5 unaided. I don't think there is any severe commercial pressure to fly anymore. If in doubt just turn it down. I never got questioned once and pilots that pushed it were given a talking to.

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

Role & Responsibilities
We are looking for a Helicopter Pilot for a new build Motor Yacht. Ideally, we are looking for two rotational Pilots who are dynamic, and confident yet carry a relaxed demeanour and are professional at all times.

We are looking for someone who can determine the safest routes, analyse flight plans and weather conditions, calculate fuel, and inspect operation systems and navigation equipment during all flight checks.

When any maintenance and daily checks have been carried out the Pilot will be expected to assist with any other departments on board.

We expect anything from 50-100 hours of flying time annually and these trips can range from Airport transport and exploration or any other specific missions. The vessel will be a world cruising program with expected time spent in the US and Caribbean and may venture further afield whilst often spending time in Europe.

There be Dragons!

Get that fully defined, clearly spelled out, and signed in blood, with certified copies.....and remember if it ain't in the Contract....it ain't in the Contract.

Being a Watch Stander on the Bridge.....assisting with navigation or ship. handling when not flying or engaged in aviation related duties....perhaps.

Polishing brass...being a rag wipe or deck swabber.....nope!

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.
