DRF Luftrettung Academy Expands Portfolio with First Basic Training Pilots
Sept. 1 marked the first day of training for seven trainee pilots, featuring six men and one woman. On that date, DRF Luftrettung officially added its brand-new R44 training helicopter to the training fleet at its Operation Center at Karlsruhe/ Baden-Baden Airport and presented it to the flight students.
The launch of the new course is a milestone for DRF Luftrettung. Having been offering special training courses for experienced pilots within its approved training organization for almost 20 years, it has added an important element with the new basic training.
“Our aim is to pass on our expertise to third parties and, as one of Europe’s largest air rescue organizations, make a further contribution to aviation safety. At the same time, we are also securing our own young talent for DRF Luftrettung’s 29 HEMS bases in Germany. After all, we also need highly qualified pilots for the special field of air rescue over the long term,” emphasizes Dr. Peter Huber, executive board member of DRF Luftrettung.
Following professional helicopter pilot training, the air rescue organization plans to offer prospective pi lots further prospects at DRF Luftrettung or its subsidiaries. Suitable candidates could join DRF Luftrettung as copilots at selected HEMS bases in order to gain further experience under the monitor- ing of experienced pilots and become qualified for air rescue missions.
Pilot trainees benefit from the expertise of DRF Luftrettung
Throughout the entire training process, the students are guided and supported by DRF Luftrettung flight instructors with extensive experience. The trainee pilots will particularly benefit from their broad ex pertise in night flights, hoist rescues, takeoffs and landings in densely built-up areas, as well as missions in impassable and alpine terrain.
The course takes place at the DRF Luftrettung Academy in Bühl and the DRF Luftrettung Operation Center at Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden Airport. “In addition to the regular training content, participants will also gain practical insights into the various areas of the air rescue organization, for example in the form of seminars with the technical and medical departments of DRF Luftrettung,” explains Florian Klinner, project manager responsible for the training program.
Applications for the second training course, which will start next year, will now be possible. More information at:
