Every Coast Helicopter Operations also known as E.C.H.O. is an organization that represents all sections of public safety aviation. We represent Air Medical Crews, Law Enforcement, Search and Rescue, Firefighting Aviation, and Military Personnel.  Every Coast Helicopter Operations was initially founded to create joint training for multiple organizations in our field.  E.C.H.O. has evolved beyond just training to helping the families of our fallen comrades, helping with mental health care for anyone in public safety aviation, and mentoring future flight crew members. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a 100% all-volunteer staff.  

The beauty of our organization is that it was never set up to make money. Profits do not exist. All money from vendors and donations given to the group are placed right back into hosting a conference or providing more educational opportunities for its members. This is why E.C.H.O. is and has become so popular. This popularity is personified in our maximum capacity attendance and stellar reviews from those who participate. We have no dues or fees and provide real-world quality education for flight crews on the front lines daily.  These flight crew members are front-line crew members, top regional educators, and managers in their respective fields. The education, training, and information they receive are then disseminated back to their organizations across the world. 

 
Public safety aviation crew members work in an extremely hazardous environment.  They respond to high-stress situations and provide critical care to patients.  The physical and mental stress can take a toll on the aviation crews and their families.  Our Flight Assistance Support Team (F.A.S.T.) is the only deployable public safety aviation peer support team in the US that will respond when a crew experiences a helicopter crash. The F.A.S.T. provides support for crew members, families, and programs in the midst of catastrophe. 

 
Each year we have a conference to educate and celebrate the members of our organization. This year our conference will be held in San Diego, CA on October 2-4, 2023. This conference enriches the public safety aviation personnel by providing high-quality education, networking, and bonding with other members from across the country.  

 
We depend on donations to help provide a wonderful experience for our public safety aviation attendees and to raise money for our volunteer peer support team.  It is our pleasure to be reaching out to request monetary support/sponsorship or product donation. Donations of any kind would be used to raise funds for our peer support team, Flight-Crew Assistance & Support Team.
