paperwork Wednesday at the Sheriff’s Office Aviation Hangar at the Florida Keys
Marathon International Airport to acquire three new Leonardo AW139 helicopters
which will replace the Trauma Star program’s Sikorski S76 fleet over the next
two years.<p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The three new AW139 medium twin-engine helicopters meet
Trauma Star’s critical life-saving mission profile: They are able to fly the
distance, carry the payloads, and utilize the current landing zones in the
Florida Keys.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">“These new aircraft can fly two patients, medical
equipment, medical staff, and pilots comfortably from the Dry Tortugas to Miami
without the need to refuel and do it quickly at 190 mph — a vital point when
lives are on the line,” said Sheriff Rick Ramsay. “This program is crucial to
the safety of our residents and visitors alike and the AW139 helicopters are
the right aircraft for the job.” </p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The difficulty in finding parts for the three Sikorski
S76 helicopters was one of the factors in the decision to acquire newer
manufacturer-supported AW139 aircraft. The AW139 will increase operating cost
efficiency and reduce downtime due to unscheduled maintenance.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Trauma Star crews annually fly approximately 1,400
missions over greater distances than most other air ambulance programs. For
perspective, the national average for similar programs is 264 patients a year,
according to the Federal Aviation Administration and the Association of Air
Medical Services. The Trauma Star average is more than five times that amount.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The Monroe County Board of County Commissioners approved
the approximately $52 million acquisition of the new AW139 helicopters in March
2023 as part of the county’s infrastructure fund, which is generated from a
one-cent sales tax.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The AW139 is an aircraft of choice for EMS and search and
rescue missions across the globe as well as locally — Miami-Dade’s air
ambulance program utilizes the AW139 as well as other public emergency
responders in Florida and across the country.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">There are three Trauma Star helicopters. They operate out
of two bases: One at the Florida Keys Marathon International Airport and a
second at Lower Keys Medical Center on Stock Island.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The life-saving service is provided free to residents and
property owners of Monroe County.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The Trauma Star program is a partnership between the
Sheriff’s Office and Monroe County Fire Rescue. The Sheriff’s Office staffs the
pilots and mechanics while the flight nurses and flight paramedics are staffed
by Fire Rescue.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The Trauma Star air ambulance helicopter program has been
conducting life-saving missions since its inception in 2002.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p>Monroe County Sheriff's Officehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02598271960349336359noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1821242079663427889.post-41077484845520776902023-10-17T10:35:00.003-04:002023-10-17T10:35:16.599-04:00Man arrested for threats<p>A 39-year-old Marathon, Florida man was arrested Monday for
