The Crew

 

Cox Air Care is proud of its crew. In addition to the many credentials, certifications and licensures, our crew members are involved in or manage projects above and beyond what is a required for the flight program. For example, all Cox Air Care pilots are ATP rated and have thousands of hours in aviation. They also participate in public relations activities, safety events and continuing education.

We are also proud of our maintenance staff. These Cox Air Care members operate far from the scene of an accident/emergency, but our mission would not be possible without their abilities to keep the helicopter ready. Our pilots and mechanics are provided by and are employees of Air Methods Corporation, the largest air medical vendor in the country.

The volumes of clinical and classroom education that the medical crews bring to this program are both varied and impressive. Many nurses have attained certification in emergency, critical care or flight nursing; and some have certification in all three. Bachelor's degrees are also not uncommon. Several of the flight paramedics are nationally registered or have become critical care paramedics or have obtained their flight paramedic certification. This, combined with the efforts of the maintenance staff and pilots, make for a winning team.
