The specific job that I would like
to end up with is being an EMS Helicopter pilot for like University of Michigan
Survival Flight after I get out of the military. According to http://www.med.umich.edu/survival_flight/transport/index.html
they transport patients from accident scenes to hospital and other care
facilities by helicopters, airplanes, and ambulances. University of Michigan
Survival Flight leases 3 twin-engine Eurocopter EC-155B, two of the helicopters
are on call 24 hours a day and the other is used for organ transportation. Also
one of the helicopters is based at the Livingston County Airport 24 hours a
day.
The safety
concerns of this job is flying in bad weather and trying to land at an accident
with obstacles are just some of the safety/liability concerns with this job.
How I would mitigate these concerns are to trust my training and my instruments
as well as the crew that I am flying with. With the bad weather you just have to
trust your instruments, training, and what you have learned from previous
experiences. And for the obstacles at your landing zone, that you have to trust
your crew and the ground personal to help guide you to a safe spot and if you can’t
land safely at the accident site then I would have a few backup landing zones
before I go out to the accident site.
Professionalism
is someone who has the skill or competence to do their job correctly and make
very little mistakes or take unnecessary risks. The lack of professionalism in
the documentary was demonstrated by management because they were promoting
pilots to captain that had very little experience and hours that should not
have been promoted yet. And the lack of professionalism on the pilots for
taking a promotion, because it was more money and them not being fully aware of
the consequences of them not being ready for the responsibility of captain
seat. The two ways that I am would expand and maintain my professionalism is by
continuously learning and trying to become a better pilot each time I go up and
also if I do not feel comfortable with my skill in a certain situation then I would
let someone take over who is more comfortable than I and try to help them as
much as possible.
