FAA safety rules for medevac helicopters fall short
FAA proposed rules require energy absorbing seats and restraints only for new helicopter models, leaving existing 9,500 aircraft and current fleets exempt for years. The measure, criticized as watered down compared with NTSB recommendations, aims to reduce fatalities but offers minimal impact on the vast current fleet and medevac operations while supporters urge immediate, broader safety adoption.
