The Less the Merrier: The Perils of Additional Insured

Posted by Admin

The Less the Merrier: The Perils of Additional Insured Written by Jeff Fleming, Leading Edge Insurance Agency As a helicopter owner, especially a non-commercial owner, you may have been asked by the county or city that owns the airport where you park or hangar your aircraft to be added to your insurance as an "additional insured." You probably said, "Sure, why not?" Then you contacted your agent to get the additional party added, and the agent subsequently went to the insurance underwriter to complete the request. But exactly what was the airport/city/county really asking for? [Read More...]

From Tip to Tail: Precision HeliParts Delivers

Posted by Admin

Whether it’s something routine, like overhauling one of its many starter generators, or a more urgent need, like replacing an N1 tach indicator that just quit on a helicopter stuck out in the field, when All American Aviation needs a part they contact Precision HeliParts (PHP). There is a tongue-in-cheek saying that “A helicopter is 5,000 moving parts all trying to do you bodily harm!” Of course, I strongly disagree with the latter part of that statement. However, since every helicopter is indeed made up of thousands of parts, the scenarios above play out hundreds of times every day in a variety of ways all over the world. Fortunately, for thousands of operators in over 60 countries, PHP is part of their solution. [Read More...]

My Two Cents Worth - Randy Mains

Posted by Admin

My Two Cents Worth by Randy Mains Here’s a question for you: What’s the difference between a $14 million full-motion, level D flight simulator and a $500 couch? As I was to find out, the answer to that question is … not a lot. In the January 2014 issue of Rotorcraft Pro, there were several very well written and informative articles about flight simulators. Lyn Burks, the editor-in-chief of Rotorcraft Pro, had written an article about his experience flying a S76 C+ flight sim at the CAE training center in Whippany, New Jersey. Ryan Mason wrote an insightful article entitled “Trends in Helicopter Simulation.” Reading those two articles reminded me of the couch, and what a wonderful training tool it is. [Read More...]

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (Part One)

Posted by Admin

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (Part One) By Dr. Dudley Crosson It doesn’t matter what you call it – Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) or Aviation Life Support Equipment (ALSE) – it is all the same. It is the equipment that the flight crew should be using to protect them from conditions that may occur during an accident. It is common practice to utilize ALSE in the public safety and HEMS communities, but it is obvious that not all do so. [Read More...]

Meet a Rotorcraft Pro – Anthony Burson

Posted by Admin

Meet a Rotorcraft Pro – Anthony Burson RPMN: What is your current position? I am the Chief Pilot of UTFlight, the flight department of United Technologies. I am responsible for helicopter and fixed winged operations, both domestic and international. We have 36 pilots that operate a fleet of ten aircraft with bases in Hartford, Conn. and Charlotte, N.C. RPMN: Tell me about your first flight. My first flight was in a Piper Super Cub that was owned by a family friend. I was ten years old and remember that I could not see out the front wind screen. The flight was only about 20 minutes long but I knew then that flying was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. My first helicopter flight was in a Hughes 500 at the age of 23. I was working as an A&P mechanic and had just been trained on how to do rotor track and balance. I was so excited in that first ride that I had a hard time concentrating on what I was doing.

CS3 - Raising the Bar on Customer Support: How Airbus Does It! Article, Photos & Video by Lyn Burks No one likes a helicopter that is a “hangar pig”—a helicopter that seemingly sits in the hangar broken more often than flying. As a person who has owned several helicopters as a part of my business, I can testify that downtime equals lost dollars. [Read More...]
