Employees of the Moscow Aviation Center have developed new vehicles for helicopter repair. They will help to repair and maintain helicopters on their own and in the shortest possible time, even outside the airfield, "in the field."
The repair team consists of a mobile workshop with all the necessary equipment and a living module for specialists based on a KAMAZ truck, and a crane-manipulator based on a Ural truck for transporting and installing heavy components and mechanisms. Previously, for repair work, it was necessary to order a truck crane from other organizations, and the fire and ambulance helicopters themselves had to be delivered only to the airfield to the aircraft scheduled maintenance and repair shop.
The Moscow Aviation Emergency Response Service has been operating for twenty-one years. Now it includes five fire helicopters, five ambulance helicopters and a reconnaissance helicopter for monitoring the situation during major incidents. If necessary, the air brigade can arrive at the scene of an emergency in just 10-15 minutes. Specialists are trained in their own training center.
The Moscow Aviation Center also helps with the organization of helicopter pads in medical institutions. Such sites already exist in the Kommunarka multidisciplinary clinical center and in the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Medicine.
