No airport operator or owner can refuse a landing, especially when it involves and emergency [Patient care in this discussion]. A hospital helipad is an airport under definition. Additionally, even though privately owned, it may be considered a "Limited Public Use." Meaning the use of the helipad is open under certain business functions to those who maintain a function of that business. A medical patient being transported from a "Referring Facility" to a "Receiving Facility" most certainly falls within that business function. If a medical patient is denied care due to not having a non-employee pilot federal credentialing on file, whoa be it to the hospital. Now if a pilot is on contract to a particular hospital, i.e. vendor contract, then the hospital can require those credentials on file. But to deny a landing with a patient? Not a chance. |
