Christoph 40, Air rescue helicopter in Augsburg, Germany.

Christoph 40 is an air rescue helicopter operated by DRF Luftrettung from a base in Augsburg, serving the surrounding region with emergency medical care. The crew includes a pilot, flight paramedics, and a physician who work together to provide rapid assistance for serious injuries and medical emergencies.

The helicopter was established to drastically reduce response times for medical emergencies in the Augsburg region. Its introduction transformed emergency medicine by enabling specialized care to reach remote and difficult-to-access areas quickly from the air.

German air rescue organizations maintain high standards in medical care, with Christoph 40 exemplifying the commitment to public health service.

The helicopter is quickly dispatched when emergency calls arrive and can reach distant locations within a few minutes of takeoff. Those interested in visiting the base should contact ahead, as the aircraft can be called to duty at any moment.

The helicopter carries the number 40 as part of Germany's tradition of numbering air rescue services, making it one unit within a nationwide network. This numbering system helps patients and responders quickly identify which rescue station and equipment level is providing assistance.
