About the Aircraft
Safety
The top priority of ChristianaCare LifeNet pilots is to transport the patient and flight crew safely. For safety requirements, ChristianaCare LifeNet helicopters request a minimum landing space of 75 square feet. The landing space should be clear of towers, poles, wires, trees, signs and other obstacles. No one is to approach the helicopter until motioned to do so by one of the crewmembers on scene. Remember remain clear of the tail rotor and main rotor at all times.
