All are experienced flight medical specialists, expert in the use of our on-board equipment and knowledgeable of the medical environment in flight. |

Safety Management Premier Jets and Lifeguard Air Ambulance has embarked in establishing a Safety Management System encouraged by our oversight agencies CAMTS, DOD, and FAA. FAA Level 4 certification is the goal. This is a systematic method of identifying and mitigating risks. It establishes a company-wide method of using policies, practices, procedures, and measurement to migrate to an ever safer work culture. |
Premier Jets Lifeguard Air Ambulance is certified by The Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems. This is an independent, non-profit agency which audits and accredits aircraft and helicopter air medical transport services in the U.S. to industry-established criteria. We are inspected and re-certified every three years to 133 medical guidelines. Medical air transport patients should insure that the transport is performed by a CAMTS accredited company,if at all possible. |
