Non-combat scenario: Lay the seat back. One person holds C-spine after removing the helmet, one person on the PT's right side takes hold at the waist and shoulder by the flight suit and same on the left side. The person holding C-spine calls all movements and the PT is slid backwards out of the seat and gently laid onto the floor of the helo. Call for EVAC.

If the bird is a Medi-vac there should be a folding stretcher the PT could be placed on instead of on the floor. The stretcher could be held in place while resting the other end on the headrest of the seat.

Combat scenario: PT comes out as fast as possible. I would probably still lay the seat back and bring them out the cargo door as opposed to trying to snake them around the joystick and out the door. Same holds true for stretcher as above.

Fire: Same as combat. Same holds true for stretcher as above.

NDD, good thinking on the FE stretcher.
