Launched in 1982, Cleveland Metro Life Flight is an internationally recognized critical care transport service based in Northeast Ohio. Accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems (CAMTS) since 1994, Metro Life Flight provides both local and international assistance utilizing helicopter, Lear jet and ground unit assets. Metro Life Flight's four-person team is comprised of two pilots and two critical care specialists including nurses and physicians. Each member of the team brings industry state-of-the art experience complemented by the high standard of training required within the Metro Life Flight family. Located at remote bases in Lorain, Portage and Wayne counties, we are readily accessible to the communities we serve throughout northern and central Ohio. Our fleet of helicopters, the EC-145 aircraft, provides advanced aviation safety features, such as terrain warning system, real-time satellite weather and weather radar, allowing greater flexibility in dealing with potentially changing weather conditions.  Furthermore, we utilize night vision goggles to assist with navigation for evening flights. We are progressively working to enhance our availability in adverse weather conditions with the future development of instrument approaches and solidifying ground transport arrangements for when weather prohibits us to fly. Metro Life Flight's aircraft are operated by Metro Aviation Incorporated, who hold a FAA Part 135 certificate for aviation operations.
