FlightSafety Introduces New Operations Control Specialist Course

Training Targeted Towards Helicopter Air Ambulance Operators

FlightSafety International introduces a new Operations Control  Specialist course for Helicopter Air Ambulance operators.  “This initial course teaches the skills needed to serve in the operational control support  role and to apply those skills and techniques to effectively identify and mitigate risk in real  time within the context of Helicopter Air Ambulance operational environments,” said Steve  Gross, Senior Vice President, Sales.

The course is designed for pilots, communications specialists, airline dispatchers, and  other aviation safety professionals. The topics covered include Aviation Weather, Navigation,  Flight Monitoring, Air Traffic Control, Aviation Communication, Aircraft Systems, Aircraft  Limitations and Performance, Aviation Policy and Regulation, Human Factors/Crew Resource  Management and Local Flying Area Orientation.

It is compliant with FAR 135.619 and Advisory Circulars 120-96A & 135-14B, and can  be taken at a FlightSafety Learning Center or at a Customer’s location.  The Human Factors portion of the course includes expanded instruction in Crew  Resource Management and Aeronautical Decision-Making specific to Helicopter Air  Ambulance operations. The course also features a module that includes simulated scenarios  that enable attendees to apply what they have learned in real-world and real-time.

Although the course was designed for the Helicopter Air Ambulance industry, it will  also benefit aviation law enforcement, electronic news gathering, tour operators, firefighting,  and other helicopter operators.
