We are sending one of our boys over to HAI to the hoist operator seminar. After that he will be carrying out all of our hoist training. Up / Down. How hard do you think it is?

I wish to take issue with you on the subject of a co-pilots ability to be trained as a hoist operator.

What qualities are present in an air crewman that is not transferable to a co-pilot?

I did some ringing around and you are correct. It is not lawful to bond pilots in Australiaj. I will have to ask them to pay for their endorsement up front.

Yes we have secured the aircraft. The tender is still to be finalized. We have been given the nod.

Thankyou Peter for your fantastic input via your private messages. You clearly have grate insight into the local helicopter industry.
