"The best safety device in any aircraft is a well trained pilot." This motto of FlightSafety International is taken to heart by our Department. Each year our pilots undergo specific emergency procedure training. Alternating between having a Bell Helicopter instructor pilot come to our location and flying with each of us; or sending us to FlightSafety's Bell Helicopter Learning Center, located adjacent to the Bell Helicopter Training Academy in Fort Worth, Texas, we are able to develop and maintain skills in the operation of the aircraft that we use on a daily basis. Emphasis on aircraft systems and emergency procedures are a key factor in maintaining the excellent safety record that we enjoy.
