Edelweiß-Staffel: Bayerische Polizeihubschrauber im Einsatz | Abendschau Reportage | BR24

The Edelweiss crew is on a mission: a major anti-terror exercise near Neuschwanstein Castle. During "AlpenTex," the German Armed Forces and police are training together; attention is high. Expectations are high, too. The scenario: terrorists are holed up in a hut on the Tegelberg mountain. A person has been shot and needs to be evacuated. It's a case for the helicopter, but the cable winch in pilot Michael's plane breaks down. The police are caught off guard and must find a solution quickly. The Abendschau report team accompanied the Bavarian police helicopter squadron for several months. Every successful maneuver is the result of rigorous training. Water rescuers from the SEK and the police Alpine Task Force must be dropped off on the Danube, and the helicopter must not be too fast or too slow. Because the pilots hover just above the water's surface, the slightest mistake could have catastrophic consequences. The pilot must be carefully guided on the skids by his colleagues. Meanwhile, pilot Thomas is beginning his type rating at Airbus. The driver's license for the new Edelweiss H145 helicopter.
