The nine regional Area Health Education Centers span North Carolina, allowing resources from the state’s health science schools to reach communities and improve local health. The 500 miles between our coast and mountains present a challenge to university faculty who conduct consultation clinics and continuing professional development activities in the AHECs, while maintaining their teaching, research, and service responsibilities “at home.”

Since its early beginnings in 1968, AHEC’s UNC Air Operations, previously known as Medical Air, has transported health science faculty, medical residents, and university officials to all areas of the state for educational activities. UNC Air and its fleet of six aircraft is based at RDU General Aviation and is flown by five full-time professional pilots.

Annually, UNC Air transports about 1500 passengers to almost 100 destinations. These include North Carolina’s nine AHEC centers, community hospitals, health departments, and universities. This service makes it possible for faculty to reach very remote sites in the state on a daily basis while maintaining a full slate of professional activities. UNC Air has logged approximately 21 million passenger miles since 1978.

TYPICAL DAY

UNC Air flies between five and seven flights per day, averaging one to three passengers per flight. About 80% of its flights are scheduled during the daytime, transporting faculty, clinical staff, and medical residents to clinics around the state. Night flights are usually scheduled for faculty to conduct continuing professional development programs.

On a typical day UNC Air pilots may fly medical faculty and medical residents to Wilmington, NC to see patients at a consultation clinic. A professor in the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Dentistry faculty may conduct an evening continuing professional development program in Asheville after a full day of teaching students and treating patients in the dental clinic.

HIGH TECHNICAL STANDARDS

UNC Air’s standards for pilots and equipment maintenance exceed Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements. Pilots possess Airline Transport Pilot Certificates and have flown an average of 10,000 hours in both civilian and military aviation. A team of three full-time certified mechanics maintain the aircraft’s readiness, performing eight inspections per aircraft per year and other routine maintenance procedures in a modern, fully equipped hangar. In addition, two experienced air transportation coordinators schedule flights for UNC Air passengers.

Gordon Kramon, UNC Air’s Director of Operations, is proud of his crew and its outstanding safety record. During the five decades of UNC Air’s flights, there have been no major incidents on the ground or in the air.

UNC Air operates in a highly sophisticated air traffic control system. Its fleet of three TBMs (see photo above) utilize state-of-the-art weather avoidance equipment and satellite navigational systems, comparable to those found on any major airliner. With these aircraft, most locations in the state can be reached in an hour or less, including small municipal airports inaccessible to commercial airliners.

As the “wings of AHEC,” UNC Air helps maintain a close partnership between the universities and the communities around the state. The UNC Air staff takes pride in its contributions toward improving health care access for all North Carolinians.

UNC AIR OPERATIONS PASSENGER ELIGIBILITY POLICY

As described in the UNC Air Operations Policy Manual, UNC Air Operations falls administratively within the North Carolina Area Health Education Centers (NC AHEC) Program. UNC Air Operations provides the option of air transportation to university faculty, staff and administrators in their efforts to accomplish the goals of the AHEC Program or other missions of the broader University. Faculty are from the University of North Carolina system, as well as the major partner educational institutions that are part of the NC AHEC Program, including Duke University and Wake Forest University.

The Passenger Eligibility section of the operations manual states that passengers who utilize UNC Air will undergo prior screening for eligibility by the Air Transportation Coordinator, usually by telephone. It must be determined in advance that a passenger is one of the following:

  1. traveling on university business
  2. traveling on AHEC business, such as teaching a class or conducting a clinic
  3. traveling on state agency business
  4. traveling to meet the mission of AHEC, UNC System and other AHEC partner universities, or state agency.

Payment for flights must be made from an AHEC Center, state, or university account.
