Looking for information…
Are air ambulance operators operating under 703 exempt from the new duty time regulations?
Thanks

Yes, and it make’s absolutely no sense. Apparently medevac pilots don’t get tired while working a rolling duty week

Agreed. Some successful lobbying from our country's finest operator's no doubt.

No there not exempt. But there are different rules for medevac ops. It is in the CAR's.

The rule for medevac is basically "do not fly fatigued"...
