Helicopter Sling & Longline Training & Testing

Helicopter sling and longline training is required for pilots who plan to operate in construction, logging, or during disaster relief operations, as helicopter longline techniques are crucial for transporting any items that cannot be carried inside the aircraft.

This specialized program is designed for pilots who need to master the art of longline operations / vertical reference, a vital skill for precision external load movements.

Our training ensures that participants are proficient in handling these operations safely and effectively, under various conditions.

Helicopter Longline Training focuses on the skills required to operate helicopters equipped with a longline using vertical reference to carry external loads. This technique is essential for safe precision placement of loads in areas that are otherwise inaccessible by ground transportation.

Training highlights include:

• Vertical Reference Longline Techniques: Learn the fundamentals of flying using vertical reference with a longline when lifting, and precisely placing external loads. Training covers various types of equipment and load configurations.
• Safety and Emergency Procedures: Emphasizes rigorous safety protocols to ensure secure longline operations, including what to do in case of aircraft or equipment failure or other emergencies.
• Communication and Coordination: Develops the essential communication skills needed for coordinating with ground crews and other air traffic to ensure safe and efficient lifting operations.
• Operational Planning: Training participants in planning and executing longline operations, taking into consideration the environmental factors, load types, and specific mission requirements.

This training is required for:

• Pilots looking to operate in industries like construction, logging, and utility who must move large or heavy items by air.
• Emergency response personnel who utilize longline techniques for rapid deployment of supplies and equipment in disaster areas.
• Any pilot looking to specialize in external load operations, a niche but highly sought-after skill in aviation.
