Our team has extensive and long-standing experience with specialized procedures such as night flying, winch rescue, takeoffs and landings in densely populated areas, missions in alpine terrain, and offshore operations. In 2004, DRF Luftrettung became the first air rescue organization in Germany to receive accreditation for its own Approved Training Organisation (ATO).
