Testimonials

A Satisfied Customer-
"My vision of the dispatch center was very specific and could not be accomplished if we did not know where the aircraft were at all times," Zon comments. "This was the only system that answered our needs. We looked at other communication and tracking systems [from other companies], but they were outlandishly expensive, were ill-equipped to fill our needs, or they only did tracking or voice communications— but not both.

"This system is also pivotal in allowing the pilots to focus entirely upon their primary duty: flight safety for the patient and medical crew. All they have to do is push one button to telephone anyone. If they have an emergency, they know assistance can be directed quickly to the exact last known position.

"I want so badly for this system to penetrate the industry because a lot of people could gain so much. When I hear about an aircraft going down and it taking hours to find it, I'm really upset. I'd like to see this system on every helicopter in the United States because of the safety value.

"Absolutely and unequivocally, this system has helped us save lives and enhanced our ability to perform our mission a hundred-fold. It has also helped us attract more business, by allowing us to operate more proficiently and at a level of awareness that you simply cannot have without real-time information and visual acuity. It has revolutionized the way we do things and has had a huge impact on our operation and how we take care of patients," Zon states.

"Sky Connect's voice communication piece, the automatic tracking piece, the ease of the interface with other systems, the reliability and the low cost of installation and operation—I think about it all and say ‘Oh my gosh!' I think I have the best in the nation in my operation. Other helicopter operators need to look very, very hard at what this system does."
