Pilot experience
Our pilots are arguably the most experienced multi engine IFR/MPT pilots in Australia.
Our Services
Marine Pilot Transfers
Our marine pilot transfer division has the distinction of having conducted more IFR marine pilot transfers than any other company in Australia (in excess of 11,000) and arguably fly’s more actual IFR hours than any other single operation in Australia. This is a considerable feat given the challenging environment in which we operate.
Film & Photographic Flights
With an ability to hover at all heights, helicopters provide photographers with a platform that enables detailed aerial photographs. Our helicopters can be chartered with or without the doors removed to help deliver optimal results for any photography mission. Low-altitude aerial photography can offer significant architectural and landscape images to the professional photographer.
Search and Rescue
Our company has consistently demonstrated ability to quickly plan for and deploy on search and rescue missions which are often some of the most demanding required of a civilian SAR unit. In fact, we are consistently able to dispatch on SAR missions in advance of the dedicated EMS providers because of our 24/7 operations.
Private Charter
Our modern and well-maintained helicopter fleet offers a fast cruising speed of 130 mph, and an all seats forward, quiet, climate controlled cabin. Local journey’s often take less than 1/2 the time it takes to drive. We can land on private property, on boats, and buildings with owner’s permission.
