2013 aircrew, avionics, and operations survey, part 1
Air Medical Journal
|November 5, 2013
Summary
This study compares 2013 air medical transport services (AMTS) aircrew experiences, including pay, benefits, training, and safety, to a 2000 survey. It examines the vital teamwork required for critical patient transport.
Area of Science:
- Emergency Medicine
- Aviation Safety
- Healthcare Management
Background:
- Air medical transport services (AMTS) are crucial for critical care patient transport globally.
- These services rely on multidisciplinary teams, including aviation and medical professionals.
- Previous research established a baseline in 2000, necessitating an update.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess contemporary air medical transport services (AMTS) aircrew experience in the United States.
- To compare pilot and aviator compensation, benefits, training, and safety in 2013 with data from 2000.
- To understand the evolving landscape of AMTS operations and personnel.
Main Methods:
- A survey of United States-based air medical transport services (AMTS) aircrew was conducted in 2013.
- Data collected included information on experience, compensation, benefits, training, and safety.
- Findings were compared to a similar survey conducted in the year 2000.
Main Results:
- The 2013 survey provides updated insights into the professional lives of AMTS aircrew.
- Comparative analysis highlights changes and trends in the industry over 13 years.
- Specific data on pilot and aviator compensation, benefits, training, and safety are presented.
Conclusions:
- The study offers a contemporary snapshot of the air medical transport services (AMTS) industry in the US.
- Findings are vital for understanding workforce dynamics and improving operational safety.
- This research serves as a benchmark for future studies in air medical transport personnel.

01:27Introduction to Surveying, Plane Surveying and Geodetic Surveys
1.5K
Surveying is the art and science of mapping the earth's surface. It involves measuring distances, angles in horizontal or vertical directions, and levels to understand the shape and size of land features. Surveying techniques are essential for various tasks, such as identifying the levels of a land area with reference to a specific point, and mapping undulations and water bodies.There are two main types of surveying: plane surveys and geodetic surveys. Plane surveys assume the earth is flat,...

GPS surveying methods vary in application, accuracy, and data collection techniques, catering to diverse surveying and mapping needs. Static GPS, kinematic GPS, and real-time kinematic (RTK) surveying are widely used. Each technique offers distinct advantages.Static GPS involves placing one receiver at a known reference point and another at the target point. It collects exact positional data by observing multiple satellite ranges over an extended period, achieving centimeter-level accuracy for...

01:27Types of Surveys
471
Surveys are essential for marking property boundaries near water bodies. Different types of surveys are defined, each with its own function. Land surveys mark the property boundaries, while route surveys determine the position of properties on nearby highways. Topographic surveys create maps by capturing the three-dimensional features of the land. Hydrographic surveys focus on the shapes of underwater areas and the movement of streams through the properties. Mine surveys determine the relative...

01:19Errors and Mistakes in Surveying
1.1K
Errors and mistakes in surveying refer to inaccuracies in measurements and data recording. The errors are deviations from the actual value caused by human sensory limitations, equipment flaws, or environmental effects. These errors are typically unintentional and can result from the inherent imperfections in the instruments used, atmospheric conditions, or the observer’s inability to perceive exact measurements. On the other hand, mistakes are caused by the surveyor's lack of...

01:27Latitudes and Departures
842
Latitudes and departures are essential concepts in surveying, providing a systematic way to analyze the projections of traverse lines. These projections allow surveyors to interpret a line's north-south and east-west components, which are crucial for precisely calculating areas, bearings, and lengths. Latitude is the north-south projection of a line, calculated as the product of the line's length and the cosine of its bearing. Departure, conversely, is the east-west projection obtained by...
