Helicopters are amongst the safest conveyances available for transportation in the world. Our pilots are highly trained, and regularly practice all the emergency flight procedures. Our pilots also undertake regular flight checks and flight tests to ensure they are current with all procedural training.

Routine Maintenance

Our helicopters are routinely serviced every 100 hours. The piston engine helicopters are totally rebuilt every 2200 hours. Turbine engine helicopters have regular component changes, as prescribed by the manufacturer. Before each flight the aircraft is pre-flighted to ensure they are totally serviceable, fuel is checked and samples are stored.
