Helicopter Ag rating
 

Hi
Where can you get an Ag rating in Oz, preferably with an R44 raven?
Tks ;)

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.

Probably not in a 44 but....

Give Bob McKenzie a call, he trades as Overfly Helicopters. He will train you in a B47. I dont know of anyone who would have a R44 for spray 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
WLM :hmm:

Helicopter Ag rating
 

Does anyone know Who in Australia does Helicopter Ag Ratings and what hours are involved..
Thanks

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.

Cheers

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.

Cheers

Hi Knocked,

Bob Mckensie(spelling) has Ag rating approval.He flys out of either Caloundra or Caboolture.

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.

Thanks
 

Thanks for the replies..

Just wondering what sort of helos he has at Overfly. Cheers.

ned, how are you going, long time no see.

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???????:ok:

think you need 200hrs helicopter time before you can obtain an ag raiting. Bruce Cowell has just got his approval tp do ag raitings, he works for Daryl Taylor down Tassie

Imabell - If you look at Lachie and Troy Dan side by side you would swear they are relatives :) :)

Hence Lachies nickname of Troy Dan :)

ned, hi again,

you wouldn't wish that on anyone.:{ :E

Hey Ned,

The girls in Armidale believe there is a big difference. Mr Tomatohead wins hands down

Ag ratings?
 

Hi does anyone know where a good place is to get an ag rating?

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
