Helicopter landing in Großen-Buseck: Rescue team impressed!

Gewerbegebiet Großen-Buseck, 35435 Buseck, Deutschland - A spectacular sight was offered in Großen-Buseck on Friday afternoon when the red and white helicopter "Christoph Gießen" ended up with a deafening roar on the outer yard of the Johanniter accident aid. The occasion? A two-day training course as part of the DIVI intensive transport course, which took place in close cooperation with the Hesse/Rhineland-Palatinate/Saar State Association and the Ludwigshafen campus. The air rescue of the Johanniter took the opportunity to train new team members and experienced air savers.

Thanks to a special permit granted at short notice, the helicopter was able to land safely. Pilot Sven Brückner informed the curious viewers about the important preparations that are necessary to check the topography and ensure that the aircraft does no damage. The helicopter needs a landing area that is about twice its rotor length of 10.8 meters. Brückner emphasized the responsibility of a pilot that goes beyond the technical operation of the helicopter- constant attention when arriving and departure is essential.

technical masterpiece

The impressive Airbus helicopter of the type AS 365 N3 is a real power package: with two engines that each provide 1023 hp, it reaches speeds of up to 230 kilometers per hour. With a tank filling, it can fly up to 687 kilometers and is designed for heavy loads. The heaviest patient transport that has been carried out so far weighed an incredible 375 kilograms! A true masterpiece of air rescue that can save lives in critical moments.
