Seven Ways Helicopter Services Are Used

Author: Sonja Mitchell

When considering helicopter services, Western Australia residents immediately picture celebrities or rich business people arriving at high profile meetings. However, professional helicopter services don’t merely cater to the rich and famous, and here are seven ways helicopter services are being used today.

Transfer of Live Fish:

These days, due to sea pollution and overfishing, many of the fish eaten are farmed in communities rather than the open waters. However, this does create some issues but fortunately, helicopters and aerial cranes are available to transfer live fish including salmon eggs, smolts and fry to keep fish farming communities thriving.

Fighting Fires:

Here in Australia, we appreciate the seriousness of wildfires. Fortunately, for residents of Western Australia, helicopter services are available to assist fighting any bushfires. The use of Bambi bucket means that the helicopter teams can precisely distribute more water to put out a blaze or dampen the ground which has been made vulnerable to becoming tinder dry by prolonged hot sunny weather.

Filming Aerial Photography:

Aerial shots have become an integral part of both fictional and documentary television shows and movies. These dramatic shots can really set the scene in any niche of media and professional helicopter services can lend their expertise in filming the best shots. Imagine Braveheart or the Harry Potter series of movies without those iconic aerial images!

Aerial Surveying

When you need an overhead survey for your project, there is no better solution than a helicopter survey team. These professionals can offer anything from a basic visual survey through to more extensive and in-depth sonar surveying. These services have been used extensively by rail networks, energy companies and mining companies who need to ensure that the site is operating correctly and suitable for the project.

Control of Bracken:

Allowing bracken to be left unmanaged can have a detrimental effect on heathland, livestock and human health. However, helicopters can be fitted with spraying equipment which can effectively treat large areas to prevent disease from spreading and protect the grazing land for livestock.

Leisure Days:

Whether you fancy a round on a remote golf club or wish to have an Outback adventure, a charter helicopter service can be an effective and efficient way to transport you to even the most remote of locations for a great day out.

Wedding Transportation:

The wedding limo thing has been done over and over. If you want to make a real arrival in style, you should consider chartering a helicopter. Helicopters have enough space for the bride, groom and bridal party, making it possible to land at the wedding venue, which is ideal for a country wedding set in large grounds. Just make sure that your wedding photographer knows your plans so they can be on hand to take some fantastic photographs of you and the guests reaction to your arrival.
