helo ag rating
a quick troll through the AOC section of CASA's web site will give you the info. Not sure if anyone is using an R44 for ag training.

Thanks for the replies. I'll contact Bob as I did my Sling endorsement with him back in 02 and liked his way of training. The B47 will be nice to fly again eh eh

Try Lachie Onslow at Fleet Helicopters in Armidale, NSW. I think he does ag ratings, as they have an ag business and a training school.

Knocked/Ned. Lachie stopped doing Ag sometime ago now. His training school does not do Ag ratings either sorry to say.
Not sure who does them.You could try Precision Helicopters at Coffs Harbour,ph 67821170.

Bomb - Last time I was out at "Troy Dan's" place he was doing them but that was some time ago.
I know there are plenty of training ops here in Kiwiland that do them if that helps.

I'll second Bob McKenzie, He trades as Overfly Helicopters and his contact is 0427973311. You cant go wrong if you train with this bloke he's been at it for years.
10 hour training course and 20 hours supervision and then you get your AG2.

bob has a 47 and is usually based up in bundaberg. been spraying for many years.
troy dan only had a private licence, how could he do ag ratings, never having sprayed a crop to my recollection???????

lexdawg,
What type machine are you looking at conducting the rating in?
Precision Helicopters will do it in Jetties or the Hughes 500.
Have a look at their web site Precision Helicopters - About or give them a call at their Coffs base on 0266529988
