This article has reviewed factors that should be taken into account when screening prospective pilots for EMS flight programs. While all may not apply directly to all programs, assessing the elements relevant to a particular program will enhance the quality of the selection process. Additionally, the orientation process can be shortened considerably when pilots who already have the necessary skills and experience are hired. This can prove more cost-effective, by shortening the time it takes for a pilot to meet the program's requirements. Safety is also impacted positively, as pilots with experience and skills in all elements are less likely to make potentially life-threatening mistakes through lack of knowledge. If pilots truly are the most critical factor in maintaining the safety of flight operations, it makes sense to choose the very best available. Hospital program managers should determine who is responsible for pilot selection, and take steps to ensure that the most qualified pilots are being recruited. Consideration of the factors mentioned here in the selection process will give managers a better shot at choosing the very best.
