Airbus Helicopters said Protean won its 2014 Vision Zero Aviation Safety Award for development of the LZControl.com landing-zone database, a free-flight safety service for the air medical industry. Pilots using the company’s LZControl can easily access landing-zone maps and satellite images, pull down current weather and IFR information and locate site-specific contacts. The announcement, as well as a $10,000 check, was delivered at the September 22 Air Medical Transport Conference in Nashville, Tenn.
