UK EMS Helos Too Big for Hospital Helipads

Helicopters Bought By U.K. Government Can't Use Hospital Helipads

Twenty-two Sikorsky S92 and AgustaWestland AW189 helicopters purchased by the U.K. government for emergency medical services are too big to land at many hospital helipads, according to media reports.
