Twin Helix Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 So it seems that the fire season is finally materializing and things are picking up again. As things get busier and hairier, remember to take a minute, do things safe and get home in one piece. Keep an eye on duty days, do your proper inspections,(whether you're a pilot, wrench, or manager) and stick to the regs...squeezing a few extra hours may save the company/earn you an extra buck now but it will cost a lot more ultimately. Keep it safe, but git'er done. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R0T0R Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Thanks TH. It doesn't matter how long we've been at this, taking a step back is always important. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter whether you are flying on forest fires, moving drills, spraying or moving prospectors at some point you'll feel pressured to do things quickly and efficiently. That doesn't change your job: fly to helicopter like a proffessional to its destination safely and efficiently; follow the CARs and policies and procedures in your COM (including all preflight and post flight responsibilities). These policies are mostly safety nets to keep us all out of trouble (and alive). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
