current NAACS Certified Flight Communicator curriculum (NAACS-CFC) by providing greater training in aviation policy and regulation, weather, navigation, flight following, air traffic control, information specific
to operational control of helicopter, fixed wing and ground operations, aviation communication, crew
resource management (CRM), and terminology as it specifically relates to operational control.

Certified Flight Communicators Course:

This course will be filled with information specific to the field of Air Medical Communications. Information such as the history of air medical transport, navigational skills, map reading skills, post accident/incident planning, and stress management are all covered extensively in this course. Speakers from various air services as well as local Air Medical Communication Specialists are brought in to speak on these as well as many other topics. The instructors have many years of experience in the communications field as well as a wide variety of other qualifications.
