Memorial Hermann Life Flight Pilots and Mechanics are highly trained and experienced aviaton professionals. Our helicopter mechanics are factory trained by Eurocopter and attend training on Turbomeca engines from the manufacturer, as well.
Our pilots are the best in the industry. They must have thousands of hours of flight time and many years experience in aviation prior to being hired to work for Life Flight. Our requirements are even tougher now than ever, recently adding Airling Transport Pilot to the list of desired credentials. The challenge really begins after a newly hired pilot begins the rigorous Part 135 and aircraft transition training program. It is tough training with the highest standards and for good reason. Some very experienced pilots will not be able to perform this mission to our tough standards. The rewards for those who successfully complete training are excellent.
Life Flight helicopter mechanics maintain a busy fleet of aircraft, supporting a flight volume in excess of 3,000 patient flights annually. Our skilled aviation maintenance technicians are Airframe & Powerplant Certified and perform services and repairs on our helicopters. Memorial Hermann Life Flight enjoys a readiness rate rarely seen in any walk of aviation. Life Flight operates 4 EC-145 helicopters.
