STARS is reminding drone and laser operators not to use them near helipads, emergency scenes, or airports, saying these devices can pose a real threat.
STARS air ambulance is asking drone pilots and laser operators to follow the rules to keep first responders safe at emergency scenes. The organization says these devices can distract, disorient, create a glare, or even block flight paths, causing unnecessary harm to crewmembers and patients.
"From night operations to challenging conditions, our pilots try to minimize these hazards, which can disrupt critical rescue missions and put both our crew, patients and the communities we serve at risk," said Jason Arthur, STARS' director of flight operations. According to the rules, operators must keep their drive at an altitude of 122 metres or less, provided they can always see it.
