Question
- you have requested an air medical transport for a patient who was injured on a divided highway. which of these describes the proper method for handling this situation?
stop traffic in both directions.
have them land in the median.
have the patient within 100 feet of the landing zone.
if at night, mark the landing zone with lights shining up.
For air medical transport on a divided highway, the median (the area between the two directions of traffic) is a safe and proper landing zone as it avoids stopping all traffic (impractical on a highway) and has proper spacing. Stopping both directions is not feasible, the patient doesn't need to be within 100 feet, and marking with lights shining up is incorrect (lights should be aimed away to avoid blinding the pilot). So the correct method is having them land in the median.
