These safety trainings can be offered on the following helicopter types. R22, R44 , R66, Bell 206, Bell505, Bell 407, H125.

High Altitude Safety Training
The program includes approaches and landings at official mountain landing sites as well as emergency procedures at high altitude. Flying in the Swiss Alps presents many challenges for pilots of all levels. My training will ensure that pilots improve their skills, from situational awareness to decision making and flight maneuvers.
Advanced Mountain Flying Techniques
Dynamic Approaches
- Dynamic approaches require the least power.
- The decision to land or escape can be postponed just before the landing site.
- There is no danger of a Vortex Ring State during a dynamic approach.
- Downdrafts can be compensated by stored kinetic energy.
- It is a demanding maneuver which must be learned and practiced.
