After the helicopter has landed, do not approach the helicopter. The crew will approach you.

Be prepared to assist the crew by providing security for the helicopter. If asked to provide security, allow no one but the crew to approach the aircraft.

Once the patient is packaged and ready to load, allow the crew to open the doors to the helicopter and guide the loading of the patient. When approaching or departing the helicopter, always be aware of the tail rotor and always follow the directions of the crew.
