Rotor Watch is LifeFlight's helicopter use and safety class. The class covers helicopter use, patient criteria, LZ selection and safety, and helicopter safety.
If you would like a LifeFlight representative to come to your facility to teach the class, complete the Rotor Watch Request Form. A Rotor Watch representative will contact you to schedule a class. The class will consist of a 1 to 1.5-hour presentation and, if possible, a fly-in with an aircraft. We will set up an actual landing zone and have an aircraft fly in for about 30-45 minutes. Aircraft are available for OTW classes during daylight hours only and are dependent on weather and current flight request volume. Participants will have an opportunity to ask the flight crew questions, photograph the aircraft and get hands-on training with helicopter safety.
For any questions, email operationrotorwatch@vumc.org.
Once you complete the course, you will be asked to take a test, and then fill out an evaluation, and then awarded your certificate.
