Ground Crew Training Course Structure
RESPONSIBILITIES: OPERATIONS WITH AND AROUND HELICOPTERS
Graduates will learn the ins and outs of working with helicopters, including basic operations, special hazards, requirements for remote helipads, refueling, and landing protocols. Participants will also be made aware of their critical role in ensuring a safe and successful mission, both for those on the ground and those in the air.
COMMUNICATIONS: LET’S TALK
In external-load operations, the pilot often relies on communication with the ground crew. Graduates will learn hand signals for directing the pilot, as well as how to provide verbal directions. Proper communication can make all the difference when it comes to talking in a pilot with a load or alerting the pilot to potential hazards.
SAFETY: YOU’VE GOT MY BACK, I’VE GOT YOURS
Safety is an essential part of all aspects of ground crew training. As a Volo Mission graduate, you will learn everything there is to know about working around helicopters so that you will never be in doubt about proper procedures and protocols – ensuring your safety and that of your coworkers.
What Our Clients Say About Our Helicopter Long Line Training Course
I attended the longline course while I visited the US from Germany. The course helped me to get into the utility sector where I am now flying AS350B2 and B3’s around Europe. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in long-lining!
