Episode 86 - Pilot Down But Not Out w/Wade Dunford & Scott Davis

An incapacitated pilot scenario is an unfortunate but potential reality of working in rotor and fixed wing EMS. What do you do as medical crew members if your pilot becomes incapacitated? What training and capabilities do you have to revive the pilot and/or get the aircraft on the ground? Do some Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) incidents actually involve an incapacitated pilot? In this podcast episode, we are joined by Pilot Wade Dunford and Flight Paramedic Scott Davis to discuss their Incapacitated Pilot Working Group (IPWG) and how they have taken steps to address this issue in their region. We cover the crawl, walk, and run phases, and how you can stabilize an aircraft using a 3-axis autopilot system.
