Boston MedFlight said the pilot overflew the designated helipad on June 24 and ruled that fatigue was a factor in the incident.
“The transport was completed successfully, and there were no injuries to the patient or flight crew,” Boston MedFlight CEO Maura Hughes said in a statement cited by WBZ.
The company said it is working with fatigue management and safety consultants to review policies and procedures. The pilot no longer works for Boston MedFlight.
