Helicopter Redeye - Commercial Helicopter Pilot Services

You can hire an instrument rated commercial pilot to fly your helicopters under IFR or VFR flight rules. Listed further down this page are details of the four types of helicopters which can be flown through these pilotage services

	Eurocopter AS355 - Twin engine turbine aircraft for day and night VFR use and for IFR use where the aircraft is appropriately kitted out. Five passengers in addition to the pilot and a big baggage capacity in two load carrying areas, left and right. Greatest flexibility of operational use, but more expensive as carrying an extra engine.
	Bell 206L Longranger L1/L2 - Single engine turbine aircraft for day and night VFR use, and some LII Longrangers are also approved for IFR operations in private charter work. Six passengers in addition to the pilot and a big baggage capacity in the boot. Usually better economy that the AS355 when full because there is one more seat.
	Bell 206B II/III Jet Ranger - Single engine turbine aircraft, for day and night VFR use only. Four passengers in addition to the pilot and a bigger lifting capacity/ more bags than the R44. This is one of the most common types of commercial helicopter and is used to carry passengers, complete news reporting and traffic missions, and to carry freight loads.
	Robinson R44 - Single engine piston aircraft, for day and night VFR use only. Three passengers in addition to the pilot. Low cost of operation per hour and if luggage is packed carefully, can be used as an effective touring aircraft over long distances. This type is also used as a newscopter and for traffic reporting.

Types of Flight

The IR(H) - helicopter instrument rating - is the cornerstone of professional helicopter training under the European Joint Aviation Requirements of JAA. Not that many helicopter pilots have this qualification, which involves flying helicopter departure, en-route and arrival procedures with a high degree of accuracy in complex, IFR equipped helicopters.

This is the type of approach chart used for instrument flying, based on a number of specified navigation beacons at a given site, distances and/ or timing combined with a third dimension of descent by specified distances (or times).

This process continues until visual with the runway and runway lighting system by a minimum altitude in the descent. If visual contact is not achieved then there is a missed approach procedure shown on the chart.

In the event of being unable to gain visual reference by the specified altitude, then a diversion to an alternative or to the point of departure would occur for safety reasons.

Obviously instrument arrivals and departure can only occur where there are suitable, approved and working navigation aides (beacons) available for use and they are switched on, and the receiver equipment onboard the helicopter is working.

Combined with the visual flying rules (VFR) Commercial Pilots License, a CPL and/or IR trained helicopter pilot can locate landing sites under day and night conditions using visual map reading and terrain identification, and complete flights between licensed airfields/ heliports using instrument approach aides.

In the visual flight spectrum, it is possible to arrive at a precise location for meetings, site inspections, client visits and business/ personal travel. Regular travellers will know that our roads are congested; there are often delays on the rail network; and flying by scheduled airline flights requires time to get to the nearest airport, check in, and then wait upon the inevitable delays imposed by being a part of an international flight control system.

For business people who depend upon being at a particular location at a given time, these delays are becoming a source of irritation (at best) and lost revenues/ annoyed clients (at worst). In many cases, the costs of the travel delays can be measured and accounted for. Certainly, the costs of business travel by conventional can be quantified very precisely. We fly your helicopter and get you to your appointment safely and on time.

In all situations, the management of risk and flight safety are the primary focus of the commercial pilots work. If it is not safe then we don't fly.
