With heat the air particles are further apart which means the HEMS does not get as much lift limiting their weight restrictions, if I remember correctly. Our HEMS company will allow fly alongs during the cooler months but once temps get 90 and above they do not allow fly alongs.
Lol, I have no clue what you're asking
.Yes, purrtty much. Gas laws very much have their place with flight physiology. Boyle's Law being a very pertinent one.
If it was 110 degrees with 70%+ humidity, would you fly? would it be a restricted flight? Would your range shrink ect.Lol, I have no clue what you're asking
It does. Cold air is dense air. Engines, wings, and rotors love dense air as it makes for good power and lift. When you have the combination of high altitude, hot weather, heavy aircraft, and humid air, aircraft performance can suck so badly that some can't even fly. Aircraft performance (fixed wing or rotary) is all about two things: density altitude and aircraft weight. If the density altitude is too high for the weight, then the aircraft won't perform well enough to fly at that weight. There are a few helos that have a service ceiling that's so high that they'll always be able fly at 10k feet regardless of density altitude. Most helos don't have that kind of performance so things can become downright dangerous at 10k feet...

He said theirs don't fly in the cold, which confuses me.I think @Akulahawk just answered your question, NYS
Cold weather operations can be a problem for two reasons (besides human comfort). One is that fluids (like engine oil) can become too thick when it's cold out. If the aircraft's fluids are warmed, then that's not an issue. The other thing has to do with ice formation. All engines can have problems with ice ingestion. Wings and rotors, if ice forms on them, can lose lift and you stop flying. Also in winter months, you can get snow instead of rain. That's not too big of a problem for engines but people can have a very hard time flying in blizzards if they're not IFR certified and their aircraft isn't capable of IFR flight.
Can confirm. Was working a playoff Saturday when the Falcons made their run and the ED was quiet. Everyone in the city was too busy filling up the bars. Those who worked Super Bowl Sunday confirmed that it was one of the quietest afternoon/nights of the year.
In most cases, I do as few interventions as necessary when I know a refusal will be involved. So no, if they're moving air and alert I would not.
good thing you'll FRBO(for rent by owner) your guest room/garage
they want to AMA let them. explain to them they could just stop breathing ect. Say your not liable for anything up to and including sudden death. If you call 911 again somebody will come to you, otherwise if you still feel like your good, sign here don't die, have a nice day!
I will make sure to update you guys when it happens. I would be completely shocked if we weren't slammed but I agree that most, if not all, people will be at the bars but I would think at least a few DK patients would stumble in.
