Richard B the EMT Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Pax, as I understand it, is Latin for "Peace". As for within aviation, when JFK Airport activates the "ringdown" line to FDNY EMS Command EMD, the aircraft is described as, crew and passengers alike, with so many "Souls" aboard. I would presume that a pilot, like a ground EMS ambulance crew, has to, for self preservation, go with a "Me first" attitude. One has to know the limitations of their vehicle, be it Chevy or Beechcraft, themselves, and their partners. Attempting to extend too far past those limitations can prove fatal.
NinerThreeKilo Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 pax= passengers. Well before I get too far ahead of myself I need to get through EMT-P school! Starting to dig into A&P, looks like I am going to have my fare share of reading to do on this journey..
paramedicmike Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 My friend, you have so much more reading to do than you ever thought possible. And that's just with school Wait until you're through the program. The reading just to stay on top of things never ends. Good luck!
