The Associated Press: NTSB wants new rules for medical helicopters: "WASHINGTON — The National Transportation Safety Board approved recommendations Tuesday for better training and sophisticated safety equipment for emergency helicopter operators, and wants to limit Medicare payments for medical flights to operators who meet new safety standards.
The NTSB recommendations urge the Federal Aviation Administration to, among other things, require medical helicopter operators to install autopilot systems that can help solo pilots, terrain awareness monitoring to help pilots navigate in bad conditions, night-vision systems that help navigate in the dark and flight data recorders."
