Air ambulance given OK

Air ambulance flights operated by BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) partner Helijet International have been permanently restored at all hospital helipads in B.C. The resumption of flights is thanks to Transport Canada approval of a new flight manual supplement for the Sikorsky S76C+ helicopters used by Helijet. Approval of the new supplement follows months of intensive collaboration between BCEHS, Helijet, Maxcraft Avionics, Sikorsky Aircraft and Transport Canada to test and validate certain flight operating procedures for the aircraft.
