Aircraft & Equipment

Cal-Ore operates twin-engine, pressurized, all-weather, Beechcraft King Air jet prop airplanes. The King Airs are capable of speeds approaching 290 mph, minimizing transport times. Cal-Ore currently operates a King Air 200 & six King Air C90-B’s, along with a Eurocopter AS350 (in conjunction with Reach Air Medical). The King Air is a proven platform with high reliability and a large cabin. They are approved for known icing conditions and equipped with weather radar and Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite navigation. The AS350 helicopter has a long history of safety and performance in the EMS environment.

Cal-Ore uses the LifePort patient loading system to safely and easily load to/from the aircraft. Patients are moved from the ground ambulance gurney to the aircraft gurney on a loading ramp. The ramp is attached to the inside of the aircraft and slides smoothly into the cabin.

Each aircraft is effectively a portable ICU and is outfitted with state-of-the-art Advanced Life Support (ALS) equipment to facilitate the highest quality air ambulance medical care available. This includes a cardiac monitor and defibrillator, oxygen, ventilator, pulse oximeter unit, IV pumps, suction unit, and an extensive provision of emergency medical supplies.

Cal-Ore's fleet of 8 aircraft are maintained by highly trained Aircraft Maintenance Technicians (AMTs). These technicians receive training specific to the company's aircraft and associated systems, and they function as part of the aircraft team, working closely with our flight crews to correct aircraft discrepancies and conduct the required routine inspections.

The Eurocopter AS350 (in conjunction with Reach Air Medical) is a single-engine aircraft with enhanced maneuverability and stellar performance. It provides exceptional visibility and can maintain its performance from sea level all the way up to 9,000 feet. Its average cruising speed is 135 mph with a maximum range of about 345 miles.

The AS350 is perfect for air medical transports because of the low vibration levels in the cabin and its four-passenger capacity.
