Agricultural Helicopter Services
When it comes to farming, we think of our helicopters as flying tractors that do all the jobs your ground equipment can't. And just like your trusty tractor has its various attachments, so do our helicopters. You have a plough, drill, bailer and trailer. We have buckets, spray gear, long-lines and lifting strops.

Taking Care of Business
All our aerial agricultural work is carried out according to regulatory requirements and industry best practices.
Every aerial mission covers these fundamentals:
- The job's requirements – what needs to be done, where, when and who with.
- Health and safety assessment including load, landing zone, third-party risks and flight crew safety.
- A flight plan in-line with the CAA.
- Selection and preparation of equipment to be used.
- Care and attention to all facets during the operation.
- Pre-flight – aircraft checks, suitable weather, flight following.
- Post-flight – customer satisfaction, flight management checks, service standards.
