CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT With respect to the Air Methods Corporation 401(k) Plan, Ehrhardt Keefe Steiner & Hottman PC (EKS&H) was engaged as the Plan's new independent registered public accounting firm on April 11, 2005. During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the interim period preceding the engagement of EKS&H, the Plan has not consulted with EKS&H regarding either: (a) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Plan's financial statements, and neither a written report or oral advice was provided to the Plan by EKS&H that EKS&H concluded was an important factor considered by the Plan in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; or (b) any matter that was either the subject of a "disagreement" or "reportable event," as those terms are used in Item 304(a)(1) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K. The Plan provided a copy of the foregoing disclosures to EKS&H prior to the date of the filing of this report and requested that EKS&H furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements in this Item 4.01. A copy of the letter furnished by EKS&H in response to that request (as required by Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K) dated April 11, 2005, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K. 1 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
