"Flying at the Speed of Life"

Introduction

Jump to The Staff

Voyager Airline's Air Med is a virtual aviation service providing air ambulance service.

AirMed took flight on March 13, 2003 with one base in Cleveland, Ohio. Since then we've seen steady growth with virtually unlimited potential.

Any flight simulator is welcome. You can fly in Fixed Wing (airplanes), Rotary Wing (helicopters), or both. You can fly any flight from any base,even create your own flights.

You either fly all three legs of the flight (base to origination, origination to destination, destination to base), or you can just fly from the origination to the destination. If you fly all three legs, report your total time. If you're flyin', you're loggin'.

You do not have to complete the entire flight line in one sitting. Simply complete the trip before sending your PIlot REPort (PIREP).

Safety is the highest priority. If the weather is too bad or for any other reason the flight is unsafe, we will arrange ground transport.

Fixed Wing Division

The Fixed Wing Division uses small jet and prop aircraft to transport patients, supplies, and transplant organs over longer distances.

Your patient may be at a major airport, or on a short back-woods airstrip. We have flight assignments you can fly, or you can create your own flight over 50 miles.

Unless necessary, do not refuel with the patient on board. If you don't have enough fuel to safely fly to the destination, refuel before pickup.

Patients are transported to and from the airport via ground ambulance.

Rotary Wing Division  

The Rotary Wing Division uses helicopters to transport patients over shorter diatances, usually less than 50 miles.

Patients may be picked up at hospitals (inter-facility transports), or picked up on emergency scenes (scene runs).

Patients are dropped off (and often picked up) at hospital landing pads. Until we have the scenery added for hospitals and heliports, we will use the Fuel Zone at nearby airports as the heliport. Creative imagination at work!!! (Unless you fly several flights in one sitting, fuel use is not an issue, so being refuelled at the "hospitals" can be ignored)

Scene runs. To fly scene runs, you'll need a road map of the area you're covering to find the landing zone. Many scene runs originate on highways. If no landing zone is available at the scene, the rescue crew will have you land in a nearby open area, or meet you at the closest hospital.

We have flight assignments you can fly, or you can create your own flight under 50 miles.

The Staff

Executive Director Voyager Airline Holdings Corp.Chuck King founded Voyager Airlines several years ago and built it into one of the longest running VA's on the net. Chuck also enjoys deer hunting and fishing and is a treasurer for his church.

Vice President, AirMed Director, Mike Spinelli has been in the emergency medical services for 17 years. He is a Critical Care Paramedic working for University Hospitals of Cleveland, Ohio. UH's ground units transport neonates, pediatrics, and adults, possibly the only service that does not specialize. Depending on the distance and severity, CCT also utilizes rotary wing and fixed wing services to fly the patients, saving valuable time. We fly with Stat MedEvac and sometimes Metro LIfe Flight rotary services, and Med Flight's fixed wing service.
 

Flight Numbers

Pilots are more than welcome to create their own flights or submit interesting flights for others to enjoy (we can number them if you can't).

Three Digit Flight Numbers are long distance (fixed wing) transports, they are not assigned a particular base.

Four digit flight numbers use the following system:

First digit is the base. 1=Cleveland

Second digit is the flight type:
0=Fixed wing short distance transport
1=Fixed wing medium distance transport
2=Disaster relief airlift
3=Special event stand-by
4=Rotary wing (satellite)
5=Rotary Wing (base)
6=Training flights
7=Base to base supplies/aircraft delivery (Third digit is the destination base, fourth digit... make one up)
8=
9=
