Aircrew
The Cornwall Air Ambulance carries a crew of three, the pilot and two paramedics. To enable seven-day flying, the service presently uses three pilots who are shared with Bond Air Services' Trinity House operation which, like the Air Ambulance, is based at RAF St. Mawgan. The aircrew are selected from existing ambulance service personnel and specially trained for their work on the helicopter.There was originally a pool of twenty aircrew who worked on the Air Ambulance on a rotation basis. In the intervening periods between being on the helicopter the crew would revert to their normal jobs on the road ambulances in the County. In 2006 the system was changed, now there are just 6 full time Aircrew to improve continuity.
