Read full description

Landing Zone is a professional helicopter operations platform for flight crews, dispatch, PELA operators, and rotor-wing crews who land off-airport. VERIFIED HOSPITAL INTELLIGENCE Hospital certifications are verified against ACS, The Joint Commission, DNV, and ABA. Select a capability (Trauma, Stroke, Burn, or Cardiac) and the directory sorts by distance, closest qualified facility first. On the map, a line snaps to the nearest matching center nationwide, with numbered alternates showing heading, distance, and landing surface. Every record shows verified certification levels with source and date, satellite-verified coordinates, and direct-dial numbers for the main line and emergency department. Verified data is never overwritten by crowdsourcing. When a crew reports a change from the field, it appears beside the verified value, clearly labeled User Reported, so you see both and decide. PLAN FROM ANYWHERE Tap From Here on any pin, record, or map point and every search is measured from that spot instead of your GPS. Pre-plan the closest appropriate hospital from a patient's pickup location. HELIPAD and NO PAD badges show at a glance when ground transport will be needed. ONE STANDARD, WHOLE FLEET, STRAIGHT TO THE PANEL HEMS location naming is a mess: every program and dispatcher uses a different name for the same pad. Landing Zone standardizes it. LEXI01 means one exact location to dispatch, OCC, the flight crew, and the med crew alike. Then it pushes the verified result into the aircraft. - Export verified landing zones to ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot, G1000, and GTN 650/750, filling the FAA/PELA gap your avionics don't cover - Read your group guide on screen as a Book, laid out like the printed guide, one category per page, or print a Group Information Guide for any base or region, with community NOTAMs included - Share a one-page PDF Location Briefing Sheet for any location - Coordinates in DD, DMS, and DDM, with the DDM aircraft format highlighted RADIO FREQUENCY MANAGEMENT Search any location by name and your group's guide shows the exact programming: radio, zone, channel, band, and tones, decoded from your codeplug and standardized on every device. One-touch codeplug decoder for industry-standard programming software. All 216 NIFOG v2.02 interoperability frequencies ship on board. Quick reference cards for common airborne transceivers, written for cockpit use. LIVE COMMUNITY NOTAMS Crew-reported hazards such as construction cranes, inoperative lighting, wire hazards, and closures reach every device in your organization within seconds, with pinpointed coordinates and shaded no-fly areas on every crew member's map. Post community NOTAMs for everyone or group NOTAMs for your organization only. Long-press anywhere on the map to post a NOTAM for a spot that isn't a landing zone. Full audit history is kept on every NOTAM. BUILT FOR THE WHOLE OPERATION - Real-time sync across every device via secure cloud infrastructure - Role-based access, approval workflows, and secure group-only data (door codes, hangar codes, access numbers) - A web portal gives dispatch and Operational Control live NOTAMs and hospital reference from any browser, same account, no mobile device required - Offline-first: the directory, your group guide, and radio frequencies work with no cell service - Built-in, searchable Help Center with step-by-step guides - Scales from a single base to a multi-state fleet Built for HEMS, Search & Rescue, offshore, fire aviation, law enforcement, and any rotor-wing operation. Landing Zone is a supplementary reference tool. Always verify capabilities directly with the receiving facility. It is not a substitute for official NOTAMs, dispatch, or air traffic control.
