The FAA is more in league with business parameters than they are with the safety of these businesses. There is a fault in the way the FAA can eliminate safety mechanisms in order to achieve a more business friendly environment. ..

They respond more quickly than land based vehicles--given the weather is adequate to fly.  On optimum days, the air ambulance can fly over congested roads, flooded fields, rivers and any other object that is less than 12,000 feet tall. Mostly.  However, are all flights justified?  Most people will say that not all evacuations are necessary by air.  Medicare and insurance pays a huge chuck of any flight.  A valid point in the following article, by Nashville's Channel 5, mentions that the Medivac air carriers qualify to receive medicare payments, by following certain safety guidelines.  Certainly, safety recommendations made by the NTSB should be studied and followed by the air carriers, eventhough the FAA will probably not go along with the NTSB.  Many, many times have I seen NTSB recommendations dumped by the side of the road by the FAA.  </SPAN></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/36AA74DE-61B9-439B-8020-C6591C35D1AE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
