Helicopter Opperations

[Andy]

All,

I am giving a lecture tomorrow evening on Helicopter pickups from boats. Its part of the BSAC Dive Leader course I teach. Not done this one before and so I am on the hunt for any resources you fine folks may have I could nick to aid my presentaion. Graphics, Web sites, videos etc .... the lecture is Tuesday evening in Portsmouth. Anything you have would be very appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Andy,

It would probably be worth talking to Paul Glatzel, he has done the RNLI Atlantic Helmsman’s course which had some helicopter exercises in it. You can read the article at http://www.powerboat-training.co.uk/...20helmsman.htm - contact details are there too.

Also, there is a helicopter article and safety card in PBO this month (December issue, pg80->).

Hi

Hope the following are of help:

Close-ups of Victor Alpha (reserve Portland Helo)

(Have higher res shots if required)

Some helo shots from the RNLI Atlantic Training Course

www.powerboat-training.co.uk/RNLI%20Photos.htm

(Likewise may be able to get you higher res stuff in time)

Feel free to use any of these photos.

Also if you email (not PM) me your email address I’ll send you the RNLI Helo Proceedures booklet which outlines the RNLI methods for helo rescue and is rather useful. (This is freely available on the web so is not pinched!)

Good luck

Paul

PS: Daniel - just noted your post, thanks!!
