How many FSMP are in the Air Ambulance Company?

• A. Three
• B. Four
• C. Five
• D. Two

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is how staffing is arranged to keep air medical operations continuously covered. Four FSMPs are used because you typically have a medical presence with each active aircraft, plus additional personnel to cover shifts, standbys, and training. With two aircraft in the company, one FSMP is on each aircraft for in-flight medical care, and the other two provide relief and backfill, ensuring coverage when someone is off duty or in training. This setup maintains continuous medical capability and redundancy. Having fewer would risk gaps in coverage, while more would exceed the standard staffing for this unit. So four is the correct count.
