treetopflyer Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 Has anyone here taken the Low Level Flight Operations course at HAC? How was it? I imagine it would really benefit a pilot that is short on experience. Would you recommend it to a medium time driver with a very diverse background? Cheers!

DGP Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 Never did or even heard of such a course...did 17 seasons spraying...20 ft high..60 mph ...dodging trees and doing a million turns over trees! Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R0T0R Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Do a wire course. All the hazards of flying low and actually serves a purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treetopflyer Posted November 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Hi ROTOR, The Low Level Flight Operations course goes on to include the header. ”Where’s the Line? Safe Helicopter Operations in the Wire Environment” Did you do a wire course, did you learn a lot? Do you recommend it for a guy with 20 years and lots of experience? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R0T0R Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 I have 20 years and lots of experience and I can definitively say that I was woefully ignorant of many of that hazards in the wire environment. I highly recommend doing the course regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bif Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 If it's the same as the one done by Hydro One and BC Hydro, it really teaches you a lot about best practices when flying in those environments. I'd recommend it for anyone, regardless of experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
