Ocean Helicopters, in association with VR Heli Academy, is proud to introduce several new courses designed to teach pilots the art of vertical reference and long line/external load flying.
This real-world training will include practicing with 50, 100, and 150ft kevlar long lines, using a cargo net, lifting a 300lb weight bin, and flying precision maneuvers such as setting utility poles and simulating placing air conditioning units.
The courses will include a Trial Lesson, the Weekend Course, and the Pro Course. Visit the Ocean Helicopters site for more information on the external load and long line courses. After successful completion of the Pro Course you will be issued a Part 133 external load endorsement.
