Some of personnel involved in the process includes, paramedics, pilots, ground crew and other technical crew. This is a very sensitive means of transport and only the highly experienced ones may make it successful. Rescue process can be divided into various types.

When one is trapped on the sides of mountain the type rescue that may be used to help the individual is called mountain rescuing. It is mainly done with the help of helicopter since the other ordinary methods may not apply efficiently owing to nature of terrain.

Ground search and rescuing is applicable when the air crafts are used to search individuals who may be trapped within the forest and is not likely to locate the way out. This may not occur to the forest again but even to big towns where one might be confused by the tall buildings and one is unable to locate the way out. Under this condition the use of helicopter may apply too.

Urban searching and rescuing happens where some buildings collapse trapping a huge number of people who become at a very high risk of dying if not helped within the shortest time possible. In case of conditions above, very highly trained personnel are required to help the entrapped ones. The collapsing of building could be caused by earthquakes and other factors. Helicopters are used to save these kinds of people.

Combat search and help; this is mainly evident during times of war where the lost individuals could be helped in getting out of entrapment.

In most cases the use of a plane is most common compared to other means because it is a fast method and also very safe.
