aErial rESCUE SETTING NEW WORLD CERTIFICATION FOR AIR ROPE RESCUE
PICTURED: Chief Pilot, Col. Zlatko Zlatev, Commander of Airbase 24 Krumovo, of the Bulgarian Air Forces, conducts a training session with his SAR (Search And Rescue) unit and Ivan Kristoff. Together they initiated the very first approach to setting new concept for global standardization for aerial rope access and rescue methodology aerialrescue.com/air-force
“The idea of Ivan Kristoff is extremely interesting, contemporary and relevant. We performed joint flights in all variants of descent from a military helicopter in 2002 with a joint crew of 24 airbase and Spiderman Ivan Kristoff set two world for rappelling and ascending on a rope over 100 meters from a helicopter, the first of its kind. They are sanctioned “The Guinness Book of World Records". I had the honor of practicing with him a new kind of descent from a military helicopter "Cougar“, which refracts imposed standards when working with a rope suspended from the helicopter. These were the first steps to create a new methodology for building global standardization program for training of rescuers by helicopter. For future benefit of this program it is appropriate for it to be unified on the basis of international experience but apply to local destinations, heights and pitches to different types of helicopters. For this purpose it is necessary to conduct an international forum for emergency response to promote the idea and share international experience with the best specialists and to provoke this initiative to sift best to be tested in real conditions and withstand the test of time.

The creation of an elite rescue unit that can deal with the four new worlds of rescue by land, water, air and dealing with hybrid threats is an exceptional initiative that will lead to raising the level of assistance to the population, coping with global challenges caused by people and nature and to increase the prestige of Bulgaria worldwide and will show that the country still has advanced thinking, enterprising and committed to the cause of people. This unit can be incorporated elements of Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Interior, the Red Cross, Mountain Rescue Service and others, using both international experience and innovation to the participants in this project.“
MAJOR GENERAL ZLATKO ZLATEV __________________________________ Deputy commander of Joint Forces Command, of the Bulgarian army, graduated from Higher Air Forces School of the Military Academy "G. Benkovski“ in 1989 with a degree in" pilot-pilot for the Air Force, "BA" D. St. Rakovski“ in 1998 and General Course of the academy in 2007. His military career began in 1989 and successively passed through the main command positions. In 2010 he served as a senior officer in air operations in Thessaloniki, Greece. From that year to February 2015 was commander of the 24th Air Base - Krumovo. From February 21, 2015 he was appointed deputy commander of the Joint Forces Command (SCS) and acting (VRID) commander of SCS to June 30, 2015. In 2010, General Zlatev, his SAR team and Ivan Kristoff initiated the very first cross training for multi disciplinary tactical and rescue operations. The goal of this exercise was to is to document the differences of various procedures for fast rope, wire rope winch operated and specialized rope access rappelling and ascending, before commencing the development of new world standardization for aerial rope rescue procedures and methodology of training. Currently there are no world standards in that field, as there are such for rope access, which do not include any helicopter operations. The team plans to change that by setting up and test in extreme operations new methodology for training and aerial rope rescue operations. This concept, along with visual documentation was introduced at Dubai Helishow, the biennial Helicopter Technology & Operations Exhibition which took lace 2nd - 4th November 2010 at the East Mall, Dubai Airport Expo Centre, Dubai, UAE. They Helishow has the tradition to present innovative ideas to the constantly increasing high rise building development in the Middle East and the world’s helicopter industry. Their training session was presented to HH Shaikh Majid Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, His Highness Shaikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who now is a pilot of a Blackhawk military helicopter, Brigadier Anas Al Matrooshi, Director of Operations for Transport and Rescue, and Dubai’s Top of Mind rope access and firefighting experts from Dubai Police and Air Fire services.
LT. NIKOLAY IVANOV KALAYDZHIEV __________________________________ Ivan Kristoff and Lt. Nikolay Ivanov Kalaydzhiev, pilot in the Air Force of the Republic of Bulgaria, are teaming up to work on the A.I.R. project. On June 11, 2016, during the Bistrica A.I.R. the two men met for the very first time and exchanged their hot passion for skydiving, the extreme sports and innovative projects – to do what no one has done before. Ivan was a paragliding pilot and Lieutenant Kalaydzhiev is a Junior Pilot in the 2nd Aviation Unit of the transport-landing squadron of 16th Transport Aviation Group which is in the staff of Aviation Base. Both will train together in a new way and join forces to achieve their goals – excel in their endeavors and improve the training and methodology for aerial rescue. That will be achieved through innovative projects and implementation of the new technological achievements. In his Letter of Recommendation of March 28th 2015, Major General Rumen Radev, Bulgarian Air Force Commander wrote: “Lieutenant Nikolay Ivanov Kalaydzhiev has 75 flight hours on military aircrafts. He has also excellent marks form flight training checks. His level of training as as follows: zone simple and complex pilotage at medium height, zone simple pilotage at a low height, zone simple pilotage in an incline plane (skew pilotage), a flight along a route at low and average heights, flight via equipment and skydiving. Lieutenant Nikolay Ivanov Kalaydzhiev has the ability to execute coordinated compound motor activities. He is able to fix and estimate several aircraft signals and indications and to take the right decisions for the most precise maneuver in a short period of time. Up to now he definitely controls the aircraft in an excellent way. His level of Endurance and standing G-force is very high. Nikolay is in excellent sport condition, which his supported his abilities, regarding his vestibular resistance in a dynamic environment. Lieutenant Nikolay Ivanov Kalaydzhiev has completed his university studies in Plovdiv University “Paisiy Hilendarsky” specialty “Mathematics and Informatics” and National Military University “Vasil Levski” – Faculty “Aviation” with “Aviator-Pilot” specialization. His Mathematical education gives him serious advantages in performing complex flight activities. He is diligent, innovative and focused in his studies and work, He is willing to develop his life on the basics of real achievements and abilities. He can overcome hinders, lead both by his ambitions and his capabilities. Achieving goals is one of the main life drivers for Lt. Kalaydzhiev. He wouldn’t let hinders and difficulties to discourage him in achieving his goals. His outstanding skills in aircraft piloting, his deep knowledge in aggregates; limits, mechanism and functioning, his very high psycho-physical training and his personal characteristics are the reasons why I recommend him for the third Bulgarian cosmonaut.
