What’s the buzz?
“Getting started in VAI’s Flight Data Monitoring Program has helped Air Methods correct nonstandard flight operations before these practices become an exceedance, incident, or accident. The reduction in overall risk and the improvement in daily operations have been worth the front-end effort and commitment.”
