EMS scenes and medevac
- EMS scene / unprepared landing zone — tick it for air-ambulance weather minimums and a short scene checklist (wires, slope, debris, lighting, ground contact).
- Medevac leg — outbound, patient on board, organ, or empty return. It tailors one short Mission pressure note. It never changes the verdict.
- Escape check — EMS and law-enforcement / SAR reports compare the forecast against 14 CFR 135.609 minimums and say whether you have a way out if the weather closes behind you.
- Early-morning fatigue — for launches between midnight and 06:00 local, one advisory item. Fatigue on its own never makes a report NO-GO.
- MEDEVAC priority — when a closure, PPR or TFR notice applies, the report reminds you a medevac callsign waives neither, and priority never lowers minimums or fuel reserve.
Scene landing zones on an airport-to-airport flight
Crews often fly hospital-to-hospital with the scene in the middle. If your purpose is EMS or law enforcement / search and rescue (or you mark the flight low level) and you drop a map-pin waypoint for the scene, the report treats that pin as a Scene LZ (en-route waypoint) and gives it the full Landing Zone Survey — wires, contours, approach and departure headings, surface and night items. Up to two scene pins are surveyed.
The report keeps the scene and the return clear: your departure airport stays the place you come home to, and the scene's own nearest weather station is named separately, because neither station shows conditions at the scene.
The en-route weather checkpoint on direct flights (see Waypoints) is weather only and never treated as a scene.
Full scene call
The Medevac leg dropdown includes Full scene call — base to scene pick-up to hospital in one briefing. It allows 30 minutes on scene and shows souls as crew out → crew + patient. The Mission pressure note then covers both decisions: launching, and leaving the scene. Outbound, reposition and organ legs show crew-only souls; the souls picker is capped at the aircraft's seats.
The same mission items apply to fixed-wing air ambulance — see Air ambulance.
