Start of Australian Robinson Helicopter Safety Courses for 2021
V2 Helicopters is providing the first of their 2021 pre-muster and tourism focussed Robinson Helicopter Safety courses at Archerfield, Qld on Sat 20 to Sun 21 February. The courses are being conducted by Rotorcraft Asia-Pacific (Facilitator - Rob Rich). V2 Helicopters are the course hosts. Post course Helicopter Flight Reviews, endorsements other mandatory check rides can be provided by V2 Helicopters. (Coordinator - Lenny Parratt).
The insurance industry has advised the general aviation industry that global insurance rates have been steadily increasing. Insurance providers claim this is due to the increasing accident rates and the resulting cost of claims becoming inflated by extra legal costs and tougher compensation settlements.
The new Robinson Helicopter Safety Courses will now include modules on low level wire avoidance and associated single pilot CRM human factors. This is becoming a requirement for some insurance companies. Many cattle mustering clients have made this upgraded training compulsory for pilots operating helicopters on their mustering contracts. (Certificate provided). The RSC will include accident-avoidance techniques, technical updates and tips from experienced tourist pilots and instructors. This is to ensure attendees heading out to their helicopter scenic and mustering jobs are fully refreshed, current and aviation business wise.
The two-day classroom training is AUD$390 incl GST. A course manual and other documents will be provided. Fee includes morning and afternoon teas, and healthy light lunches.
Bookings are essential. Due to limited room size, we suggest you book as soon as possible.
