Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Helicopter Landing Zone Training Video

Landing a helicopter in an urban environment is a delicate operation that requires skilled flight crews and personnel on the ground that are trained to establish a safe landing zone (LZ).

The aircraft featured in the video is one of four Leonardo twin turbine Air Rescue helicopters recently acquired to replace Miami-Dade Fire Rescue's aging fleet. The new aircrafts are equipped with a hoist, have a range of up to 800 miles, cruise at 170 knots and are capable of transporting 4 patients.

Although this video is relevant for any fire or EMS agency that operates with helicopters, each agency must develop their own LZ procedures in collaboration with their medical air transport provider.
