OFFLINE-READY FIELD REFERENCE

CALL 911 NOW.

For an active emergency, call before using this page. The RAF application does not dispatch responders, replace first-aid training, or authorize a rescue.

Call 911

FIRST ACTIONS

Protect people. Give responders a clear path.

  1. 1Stop flight activity and protect the scene from traffic, powerlines, fire, terrain, and additional launches.
  2. 2Call 911. State the site, whether the patient is at launch, landing zone, access road, or another exact location, and give a callback number.
  3. 3Provide first aid only within your training. Do not move a patient or attempt a technical rescue unless immediate danger requires it.
  4. 4Send one person to meet responders, unlock or identify access where authorized, and keep roads, gates, and landing areas clear.
  5. 5Preserve equipment and facts after immediate care. An authorized RAF or controlling-club officer handles reporting and follow-up.
