Dear CAA Estonia,

I hope this message finds you well.

We kindly request your guidance regarding the requirements for operating a
charter air ambulance flight into/out of Estonia.  Specifically, we would
appreciate clarification on the following points:

1.	Permit Requirements

*	Is a permit required for air ambulance operations?

*	a. Are there any exemptions applicable for aircraft registered in
regional registries (e.g., EU/EASA states)?
*	b. What documentation is required to apply for a permit?
*	c. What is the minimum lead time for submitting the application?
*	d. What is the validity period of the permit once issued?
*	e. Are there any additional regulatory or operational
considerations we should be aware of?

2.	Ground Operations

*	Is an ambulance or medical ground vehicle permitted access to the
ramp/apron area for direct patient transfer?

We would be grateful for your prompt advice so we can plan accordingly.

Kind regards,

John
