HELIOPERATIONS AW139 SAR

* Not resting on our laurels following the announcement of our winning the prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade 2022, HeliOperations (HeliOps) continues our dynamic and exciting expansion and development programme with the delivery to the UK of an AW139 SAR capable helicopter.  

* HeliOperations purchased the aircraft from Norway to expand and develop our existing SAR Training capability of International Military customers on the Sea King. It is now registered on the UK civilian register as G-GSAR and will shortly begin SAR hoist training operations from the Portland base in Dorset, UK.  

* [Leonardo Helicopters, who produce the aircraft, say:] “The AW139 has safety and technology built into its design. Fulfilling the latest certification requirements, the helicopter benefits from multiple crashworthiness and safety features. State-of-the-art integrated avionics, fully digital glass cockpit and role equipment for SAR operations, it provides abundant space to work including accommodation for fully integrated mission console, medical treatment and casualty evacuation” HeliOperations AW139 G-GSAR is also equipped for offshore hoist multi-crew operations.

* HeliOperations pedigree in SAR is underpinned by a team of ex UK and International SAR experts in operations, training, management and crewing with huge experience across an array of helicopter types including the AW139 who have helped to develop and shape much of the current helicopter search and rescue capability in the UK and globally.  

* Coupling this civilian SAR training capability with HeliOps’ no nonsense, innovative and dynamic business style is a new and exciting development in the world of SAR aviation.

What do pilots do when something goes wrong? Many emergencies cannot be practiced in the aircraft, so a high-fidelity flight simulator is essential for effective training. This is ours, housed in our training facility in Cornwall.

A fully-loaded Sea King weighs ten tonnes. A well-trained crew can hold it stable to within just a few feet in order to conduct recues on land or sea. HeliOperations is proud to deliver this training to several Search and Rescue units across the world.

All of the HeliOperations facilities are owned by the company. That means our aircraft, our simulator and our own heliport can always be available, whenever they are needed.

Our Sea King helicopters are maintained in the hangar at our Portland heliport. Having our own location, spares supply and team of engineers makes us completely self-sufficient.

We use Aviation Command & Aircraft Navigation System (ACANS) by Airbox Systems in our aircraft to reduce pilot workload whilst instructing, and increasing situational awareness.

Flying with our HeliOperations crewmen allows pilots from the German Navy to conduct hoist training, confined area landings and more. Here the winch operator briefs the pilot on the hoisting procedure to put the winchman onto a small rocky outcrop along the Dorset coastline.

An aerial view of our Heliport facility in Portland, Dorset. This is also where the majority of our in-aircraft training and aircraft maintenance takes place. The unusually short runway is for helicopters, as a running landing needs less power than hovering. Essential training for emergencies such as engine failures.
