:'' For the Slovak state carrier, see Slovak Government Flying Service.'' The Government Flying Service (GFS) is a disciplined unit of the Government of Hong Kong. It was established on 1 April 1993, when Hong Kong was under British rule. It then took over all the non-military operations of the Royal Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force (RHKAAF), which was an auxiliary unit of the United Kingdom Royal Air Force. After Hong Kong was handed over to the People's Republic of China in 1997, the GFS remains as a government unit of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), and is responsible for search and rescue (SAR), air ambulance, firefighting and police operations. The service operates from the southwestern end of Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Lap Kok. Before the opening of the Chek Lap Kok airport in 1998, it operated from the old Kai Tak Airport (i.e. the former Hong Kong International Airport). GFS patrols a radius of Hong Kong's Maritime Search and Rescue Region, as well as the Hong Kong Flight Information Region (FIR), which covers most of the South China Sea basin. In 2007, the former dispersal in the old Kai Tak Airport was re-opened as a sub-base, providing refuelling and other supporting services for GFS's helicopters. The helipad is located near the foot of Cheung Yip Street. == Operations == GFS is broken down to operational sections: * Operations Section – day-to-day core functions (i.e. Search and Rescue) * Training and Standards Section – professional standards and development * Engineering Section – maintenance of GFS equipment * Quality Section – compliance to operational standards * Administration Section – administration, human resources, finance, supplies, etc... Helicopters can land on 5 highways in Hong Kong to attend to road related recovery operations. For long-range search and rescue operations, the GFS initially uses fixed wing aircraft which then guides helicopters to the location.〔http://www.gov.hk/en/about/abouthk/factsheets/docs/flying_service.pdf〕 *Air ambulance service response time (type A+/A) – 20miutes (within island zone) / 30minutes (outside island zone) *Search and rescue callout time 0700-2159 -(within 50 nm/92.5 km of GFS HQ) – 1hr / 1hr 40m (with additional/specialised equipment) *Search and rescue callout time 2200-0659 -(within 50 nm/92.5 km of GFS HQ) – 2hr *For SARs outside 50 nm / 92.5 km – add 30mins per 50 nm *Fixed Winged Aircraft 0700-2159 – (within 50 nm/92.5 km of GFS)- 50m, (between 50 nm/92.5 km to 100 nm/185 km of GFS)- 1hr 5m, (beyond 100 nm/185 km of GFS)- add 15m per 50 nm. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Government Flying Service (Hong Kong)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
