6 S-92 & AW-139 SAR-MEDEVAC Aircraft Crew: 2 Pilots 1 Rescue Swimmer 1 Hoist Operator 1 Advanced Care Medic Cruise Speed: 140Knots VFR & IFR Capable SAR Capability 2 x Rescue Hoists Internal Auxiliary Fuel Tank Night Vision Goggles (Q1 2018) DF Homer & Search Radar Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) Search Sensor Satellite Communications System Sea State 6 Floatation System Rotor Ice Protection System (S-92) Alert-30: SAR & MEDEVAC = Day Alert-45: SAR & MEDEVAC = Night Confined Space Entry & High Capacity Bilge Pumps 4

7 The best method to rescue or MEDEVAC a patient is to land on the vessel. Primary = Vessel s Helideck Secondary = Alternate Hoist Location Some vessels do not have AW-139 or S-92 capable helidecks, or the helideck is fouled, which may drive the need for hoisting using one of the following: Rescue Basket with or without guideline Stokes Litter or Bauman Bag with or without guideline Air Rescue Vest (ARV) with or without guideline 5

9 CAP 437 Obstacle Clearances S-92 Helicopter D = feet (20.88 meters) AW-139 Helicopter D = 54.6 feet (16.63 meters) Vessel Winch Area Clear Zone: > 5 m diameter Maneuvering Zone Inside Ring: no obstacles > 3 m Outer Ring: no obstacles > 6 m Portion of the maneuvering zone, outside the clear area, may be located beyond the vessel s side 7

10 Keep the patient in a warm, dry area, well clear of the intended hoisting site and as close to the helicopter pick-up area as the patient's condition permits. Ensure the patient is tagged with details of any medication that has been administered. Prepare the patient's seaman's papers, passport, medical record, and other necessary documents in order to transfer them with the patient. Ensure personnel are prepared to move the patient as directed by the helicopter crewmember. Keep all unnecessary personnel away from the helicopter hoisting area. 8

11 Secure or remove all loose objects surrounding the operating area Lower or secure all aerials and standing/running gear, above and in the vicinity of the operating area Confirm the Deck Party Leader has a portable radio to communicate with the bridge Confirm the Deck Party is complete, correctly dressed, and in position Confirm that fire-fighting equipment is available and ready Keep the hose near, but not in the operating area Point hoses and foam nozzles away from the operations area Confirm the correct lighting is on for night operations (including special nav lights) Direct available lighting to illuminate the pick-up area (do not blind the aircrew) 9

12 Confirm the Deck Team is ready and wearing brightly colored clothes and protective helmets Confirm that access to and from the hoisting area is clear with all cargo securely fastened Confirm that the Officer of the Watch has been consulted about the ship s readiness Maintain communications with the helicopter pilots Always maintain the agreed upon speed and heading throughout the hoisting procedure. Advise if course corrections are required. 1 0

13 Helicopter hoisting is a high risk operation. A helicopter in flight generates powerful static electricity that can cause serious injury. Therefore, rules to live by: Never assist the Rescue Technicians being lowered to the deck If they need assistance, they will request it after they discharge the static electricity Never touch personnel or equipment being lowered to the vessel Never allow unnecessary people near the hoisting area Never connect any line or hook from the helicopter to the vessel 1 2

14 This briefing will be relayed by the Helo to the bridge crew. 1. Establish working frequencies; 2. Confirm position of vessel; 3. Current sea conditions and wind; 4. Request change of course and speed of the vessel if needed; 5. Secure deck and all loose objects; 6. Keep patient in a protected place; 7. Do not help the hoist personnel unless signaled 8. Turn vessel radar to stand by; 9. Do not attached any cable or lines from the helicopter to the vessel; 10. Vessel must maintain constant speed and heading through out the hoist operation (Failure to do so could result in injury to hoist personnel). Advise if course corrections are required; and 11. Confirm estimated time of arrival. 16

15 Standard hoist sequence Insertion will include: Insertion of SAR personnel with guideline; Delivery of Medic / SAR personnel guideline attached; and Delivery of Equipment with guideline attached. (Equipment May include a Basket and/or Stokes Litter) Standard hoist sequence Extraction will include: Extraction of Medic / SAR Personnel (with or without guideline); Extraction of Equipment with guideline attached; and Extraction of remaining SAR personnel (Possible circuit in-between to police guideline) MEDICAL NOTE: In most cases the Patient will be packaged in the Helicopter Litter for hoisting. 17
