Powerline Surveys
Cheers for that Max, it seems like a good way to get some good experience.
I thought about going for the north sea and have had a very nice letter from Bond saying they are going to contact me. . (yeah right) as they are recruiting Aug 2004.
As they say, 'it's not what you know. . . .'

Powerline Surveys - Uk
These 206s that we see flying around doing aerial surveys here in UK. Out of interest does anyone know the hourly rates they are going out at? I'm guessing its contract stuff.

Done a fair bit of power line inspection in UK, not the big lines, the maze of lines that end up at farms etc. Used a B206, frightenned the hell out of horses and livestock etc etc, wanted to do it at 500ft agl with good stabalised camera system, but electricity company would never pay the extra. Felt the whole project was very damaging to the "fly neighbourly" campaign and gave the public a bad image of the professional helicopter industry. In remote area's I have no problem with low level power line inspections, but some of the work I was doing was just outside London! I know that a good camera would have done the job, plus the electricity company could have had a video back -up of the work carried out.
