Miami Valley Hospital CareFlight Begins Service With AS365 N3+

Dayton, Ohio Hospital Adds Newest Dauphin Variant To Its Fleet

CareFlight Air & Mobile Services of Miami Valley Hospital has taken delivery of a new AS365 N3+ Dauphin, the latest version of Airbus Helicopters medium twin-engine helicopter. The new aircraft, which is based at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, Ohio, joins CareFlight’s all-Dauphin fleet of four air medical transport helicopters.

“We have a lot of confidence in the Dauphin,” said Candy Skidmore, Premier Health Vice President, Emergency, Trauma, and CareFlight. “We’ve been operating Dauphins for 25 years and we’ve had good reliability.”

Company officials said in a news release that the AS365 N3+ met the key criteria CareFlight established for selection of a new aircraft, including speed, twin engines, single pilot IFR and night vision capability. The new Dauphin’s cabin size accommodates the needs of pilot, crew and patients. The AS365 N3+ was completed with an air medical transport equipment package by Metro Aviation, of Shreveport, LA.

"Airbus Helicopters Inc. is pleased that CareFlight, after reviewing the alternatives, has again selected an Airbus Helicopters Dauphin to carry out its vital, life-saving emergency medical services (EMS) and other medical transport missions,” said Treg Manning, Airbus Helicopters Inc. Vice President, Sales & Marketing. “All of us at AHI are proud that CareFlight has entrusted our company to provide their aircraft and follow up support."

Miami Valley Hospital is a division of Premier Health, which operates five hospitals in southwest Ohio. CareFlight provides service to areas within about a 150-mile radius from Dayton.
