Bell-powered Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I would like to know as I have been looking for a while online, for the official BC and Alberta forestry rates, as I figured the public has the right to know them.. But where to find them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldMember Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Pretty sure you have to exercise your rights as a good, tax-paying citizen via the Freedom of Information Act in order to get that kind of info. Pretty sure that the operators who bid on, and we're awarded the contracts don't really want that info easily accessible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-rex Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Alberta publishes what they pay for a type of aircraft. In BC, operator's submit their independent rates for aircraft types to the Ministry and they approve them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helilog Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Here the US Forestery Rates for 2012. flt_chrt_awarded_2011-2013.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helicopterjim Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Here the US Forestery Rates for 2012. Those are just the hourly rates. The USFS also pays a day rate otherwise you will note that those prices are very low. Interesting to note that a Bell 214B uses more fuel and costs more than a 214B1 - they are the same helicopter except for a difference in internal gross weight.

Iceman Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 And the 222 goes for more than a 212? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisky Creek Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 If I could figure out how to upload an attachment I'd give you the excel spreadsheet for Alberta but I'm apparently retarded in that regard. BC uses your submitted rate (Tariff if you are smart) and Alberta uses a published rate sheet. Call this guy if you really want one.
