Re: landing safety of BK117

[flyinbrian <flyinbrian68@yahoo.com>]

Loyd, 
We fly 2 BK-117's. If the pilot requests that someone open the sliding door and get a better visual during a landing we will do so, however we remain secured in the aircraft with the seat harness at all times. During our out-bound leg of the fight one crewmember typically will sit in the co-pilot seat and one will sit in the patient compartment. We have one in the co-pilot seat for an added set of eyes to look for other air traffic and obstacles. We also have both aircraft equipped with a Night Sun search light to use during night landing zones. Hope this helps.
