Try contacting Mike Green at Fast Helicopters Thruxton.
Spoke to him this morning and he is due to run an Internal course very soon and was looking for Bums on seats. Not sure of all the details but wouldn't hurt to ask.

I believe that you can do a course at any outfit that is CAA Approved for CRM. However, it makes a lot more sense to do one that is directed towards helicopters, if you can.
CRM originally arose in connection with multi-crew operations, and ways of improving the way they work together. Most non-offshore RW pilots are single crew, of course, so the multi-crew style CRM is less relevant. I did try to seek out guidance and information about "single crew CRM" a while ago for continuation training, but drew a blank with the CAA and others. The only thing I did find was a US seminar pack produced jointly by the FAA/HAI, but I could not get hold of a copy.
If anyone knows of a CRM course for single crew ops that deals with helicopters, it would be good to know of it.

I have just recently attended a course which was set up by a Police ASU. The unit was the Central Counties Air Operations Unit in Birmingham. This was done by a guy called Craig Guis, (probably spelt wrong), who is an ex military US army helopilot.The course was superb and very interesting. Worth giving the CCAOU a call. Can't help with the number at the moment as I'm at home and the details are at work.

Gas_producer,
You can contact Craig by e-mail and ask when he's on this side of the pond next. [email protected]
I was also on the CCAU sponsored course and it is well worth attending.

The CCAOU style course comes highly recommended - I haven't done it but lots of police pilots and observers who have say it is excellent. I believe that it is rather directed towards police aviation (which is effectively multi-crew), and may well not have the CAA stamp of approval. Since an Approved course is a pre-requsite for UK public transport this is a shame.

To all you rotary guys not employed in an Offshore company, you may be surprised to know that CRM for helicopter pilots, both single and multi-crew, is available to you individually or for your companies.
I instruct CRM for a JAA/CAA/FAA approved CRM training organisation. We run CRM courses for Helicopter pilots and companies. For information please email me at:

Regards to all.

CRM courses revisited
I need to do an accredited CRM course, to be able to take up paid freelance work on S/E helicopters here in the UK.
I've found an old thread - http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthr...threadid=19188 - and ASA and the "aviationteamwork" web site are actually the same people.
Mike Green isn't doing any in the near future, it appears Bristow's don't do CRM courses any more - the web site says they only do JAR IR courses - and I've mailed the CAA asking for a list of accredited course providers, but I'm not holding my breath.
Does anyone out there know of such a provider ? My requirement is reasonably urgent as I want to get the boxes ticked as soon as possible so I can start telling my missus I'm actuallt getting paid to fly, rather than the other way round !

Try CSE @ Oxford (if that's what the're still called). Went to a 1 day course down there a couple of years ago which was actually rather good. Don't have a number though I'm afraid..

Also dredged up from the past are two in the Surrey area:
John Barker @ Hitec Resources - Fairoaks 01276 6855056
London Helicopters @ redhill were also talking about doing courses specifically for Helo pilots single crew

Hmmmmmm..crew resource management training - for single pilot ops.....are you going to start arguing with yourself in the cockpit or undermining your own authority with snide comments. I suppose you can always sort out any cross cockpit gradient issues in the debrief.
But do you trust your crew? are they loyal to you or are they subverting your power as Captain. Ah... the loneliness of command.
Maybe Gollum does single pilot CRM courses.............

Mike Green said the same thing on Sunday when I asked him about where and when to do the courses.
Unfortunately for us newcomers this is something we have to do to tick the box - you old-timers have all the answers anyway
And Helinut - the number you've got ain't right, and I can't find a "Hitec Resources" anywhere near Fairoaks or Chobham - do you perchance have the right number or other contact details.

I'm not sure why you think there is no reference to crm on their web site; it's under Human Factors training.
the following takes you straight to crm:

Good luck with your searching.
