Rotorflight were involved with the Air Ambulance unit to be based at Filton during mid-2007. Rotorflight were asked to provide helicopter ground training on Principles of Flight (H) and provide the 9 qualified Paramedics with navigation appreciation using 250,000 and 50,000 OS maps. Additionally principles like Vortex ring, PFL's and Flapback were demonstrated.
