Hi i am looking for recommendations for helicopter schools that do courses in the following please..

Sling loads.
Aerial inspections
Services to the power line industry.

I am in the UK but will consider other countries.

Not sure if they offer training in those areas, but Helicopter Services at White Waltham (formerly Wycombe) conduct operations such as load lifting, aerial filming etc. Leon and team have a lot of experience; if they can't provide the training themselves for any reason, I would think they'd be able to point you in the direction of someone who can.

Just what I was going to suggest..... But Canada would be a good place to try otherwise.

I will be using my 505 for load lifting etc training. Just finished the Bell training in Dallas . Even more respect for what an amazing machine the 505 is after 50 autos to the ground in every phase of flight ... stuck pedals etc . It is a very robust and powerful machine !! I will post more about it later but to anyone who hasn’t done the course with Bell .... if you get a chance do it . It’s pretty full on work in classroom , Sim and Helicopters but every auto goes to the ground .... even the ones you completely mess up !!
