    Which of the following is NOT a question Medlink will ask the requestor to determine if a long distance flight should be accepted?

    • Is the patient's condition life of limb threatening?

    • Does the patient's condition meet the criteria for insurance billing purposes?

    • Is the flight medically necessary?

    • Is the receiving facility the closest appropriate facility?

    Correct Answer
    A. Does the patient's condition meet the criteria for insurance billing purposes?
    Explanation
    Medlink will not ask the requestor if the patient's condition meets the criteria for insurance billing purposes because the decision to accept a long distance flight should be based on medical necessity and the patient's condition, not on insurance billing criteria. The focus should be on whether the patient's condition is life or limb threatening, if the flight is medically necessary, and if the receiving facility is the closest appropriate facility.

    • Communicator in Command

    • Communications manager

    • Pilot in command

    Explanation
    The pilot in command is responsible for the overall operation and safety of the aircraft. They have the final authority to make decisions regarding the flight, including whether or not to accept a transport. The medical flight crew and the communicator in command may provide input and recommendations, but the ultimate decision lies with the pilot in command.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is suggesting that if medlink is not in-house, the long distance flight request will be automatically declined by the communication specialist. However, the correct answer is False. This means that even if medlink is not in-house, the long distance flight request will not be automatically declined by the communication specialist.

    Which of the following may assist in determining acceptance when there are aviation considerations?

    • Base Pilot Supervisor

    • Operational Control Center

    • Director of Operations

    • Communication Specialist

    Correct Answer
    A. Operational Control Center
    Explanation
    The Operational Control Center is the correct answer because it plays a crucial role in aviation operations. It is responsible for coordinating and managing flight activities, including ensuring compliance with aviation regulations and safety standards. The Operational Control Center is involved in decision-making processes related to flight acceptance, considering various aviation considerations such as weather conditions, airspace restrictions, and aircraft performance. The other options listed, such as the Base Pilot Supervisor, Director of Operations, and Communication Specialist, may have roles in aviation operations, but they do not specifically focus on determining acceptance based on aviation considerations.

    • Medical Control

    • Transport Coordinator

    • Medlink

    • President of Air Evac

    Correct Answer
    A. Medlink
    Explanation
    The communication specialist will connect the requesting agency with Medlink to determine flight acceptance. Medlink is a medical communication center that provides assistance and guidance to medical professionals during critical care transport. They have access to medical resources and can assess the patient's condition to determine if a flight is necessary and appropriate. Therefore, they play a crucial role in the decision-making process for long-distance flights.

    The communication specialist should wait to notify the flight crew of the request until after Medlink has made their decision.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The communication specialist should not wait to notify the flight crew of the request until after Medlink has made their decision. It is important for the flight crew to be informed as soon as possible so they can take appropriate actions or make necessary preparations. Delaying the notification could lead to potential risks or complications.

    A flight request is considered long distance when patient loaded miles exceed

    • 180 NM/150 SM

    • 80 SM/50 NM

    • 200 NM/180 SM

    • 150 NM/180 SM

    Correct Answer
    A. 150 NM/180 SM
    Explanation
    A flight request is considered long distance when the patient loaded miles exceed 150 NM/180 SM. This means that if the distance traveled by the patient exceeds 150 nautical miles or 180 statute miles, it is classified as a long-distance flight request.

    Medlink may also determine the flight request is a normal flight for the assigned base and approve the flight without additional screening.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Medlink may determine that a flight request is a normal flight for the assigned base and approve it without additional screening. This suggests that Medlink has the capability to assess the nature of the flight and make a decision based on that assessment. If the flight is deemed to be normal and does not raise any red flags, it can be approved without the need for further screening. Therefore, the statement is true.
