Summary
At its October 21, 2003 meeting, BIRHC reviewed the steps and $30,000 equipment needed to license Island Airways evacuation flights as an air ambulance. The Board also discussed a $15,000 state grant, provider turnover, construction at 70 percent, propane procurement, new policies, and mediation with the Concerned Citizens Group.
Evidence limits
This is a newspaper report of a long and contentious meeting, not an FAA licensing record, audited grant report, construction certification, or mediation outcome.
