Safety Resources

In the spirit of Collaboration and to ensure that Safety is the primary focus on all scene calls, MAAP has created a unified Landing Zone presentation. If you are interested in receiving this presentation, please reach out to MAAP on the CONTACT US page.  If you are looking to set up an LZ Class for your department, look for the Air Medical Program in your region, listed on the PROGRAMS page. 

 Helicopter shopping is the unsafe practice of contacting multiple air medical providers sequentially until one agrees to accept a transport after others have declined, often for reasons related to weather, night operations, or operational limits.
This practice introduces unnecessary pressure on flight crews, undermines operational integrity, and increases the potential for preventable accidents.
