Our crew members are among the best in their fields. Their dedication, compassion, and professionalism are unmatched.
Aviation Crew
Our aviation team is made up of helicopter (rotor wing) pilots, airplane (fixed wing) pilots, and aviation maintenance technicians. Together, they keep our aircraft operating safely and efficiently so they are ready at a moment’s notice to transport a patient.
Our aviation crew members must maintain annual training and education competencies in all aspects of critical care medical transport, exceeding 150 hours annually.
LifeFlight of Maine operates five A109 series light twin-engine Leonardo AgustaWestland helicopters.
Medical Crew
Our nurses and paramedics are required to have years of specialty experience in hospital critical care units. Additionally, all new clinical team members receive between 500 and 800 hours of intensive, full-time orientation on a wide variety of medical and aviation disciplines from altitude physiology to crew resource management.
Our critical care medical teams have an expanded scope of practice that allows all of the initial care in a trauma center hospital emergency department to be delivered directly at the scene.
MedComm
MedComm’s Communications Specialists (ACS) work with a variety of other communications centers including hospitals, 911 dispatch, EMS agencies, police, fire, warden, and forestry services to coordinate both interfacility and scene calls.
The communications specialist helps to coordinate landing zones, transport to and from landing zones, locate temporary landing zones in rural areas for logging, ATV, snowmobile, or hiking accidents, and orchestrate the many services required to help critically injured patients in their time of need.
Every 3.5 hours, we transport someone in Maine facing an acute medical emergency.
Together, we give Mainers their best chance.
