The DRF air rescue station in Bad Berka celebrated its 30th birthday in the spring. So the new five-bladed H145 can be considered a late gift. Since September 10, 2022, the Air Rescue Service has been deployed in Bad Berka with the latest rescue helicopter currently available in the field of civil air rescue.

The new H145 with a five-blade rotor arrived in Thuringia on Saturday: “We are very happy to receive this model,” says Michael Deininger, station manager at DRF Luftrettung in Bad Berka, “because we received from our colleagues already with a five-blade machine in use, we heard Lots of positive things. Of course we are very excited about the new machine.”

In addition to the advantage of being able to carry higher payloads, the H145 is more stable in the air thanks to the fifth blade of the rotor, which benefits patients and crew. With the commissioning of this rescue helicopter, DRF Luftrettung is constantly striving to achieve its goal of advancing the development of air rescue operations.

“The H145 engine with a five-blade rotor not only has less vibration, the greater payload capacity means: we can carry more fuel, which increases range and of course has a positive effect on haulage flights,” adds Michael Denninger.

Dr. Krystian Pracz, CEO of DRF Luftrettung, explains the background to the fleet modernization: “The roll-out of the new H145 with the five-blade rotor is a milestone in the field of air rescue in Germany, and we are very proud of that. We made the decision to use the system as soon as it became available, and to be the first Who is taking this path, because it is part of our self-image to advance the development of air rescues. Improving the care of our patients, especially in all areas related to air rescue – people, medicine and technology.”

Fleet update

The first H145 helicopter with a five-blade rotor arrived at the DRF Luftrettung shipyard in December 2020 and was converted to service the station. Since then, DRF Luftrettung has continually added more H145s with five-blade rotors to its fleet. Bad Barka is the ninth station to receive an instrument of this type.
