KUWAIT POLICE TRAINING
Rotorflight and the Kuwait Police Students
Rotorflight are currently involved with training 10 Kuwait Police student
at Tiger Helicopters,
Shobdon Aerodrome in Herefordshire.
The course started in August with each student required to aquire approx
180 hours of flying, to include 75 on the R22 , approx 60 on the Bell
B206 Jetranger and approx 35 hours on an AS355 Twin Squirrel. Paul Chapman
of Rotorflight is currently working at Tiger with three other instructors,
Keith Bebbington, Gareth Abbott and Alan Austin. Each instructor is
responsible for at least two Kuwait students each, taking them from
their first solo, all the way through to the end of the course.
All the students recently went solo, all on the same day! The photographs
below (although not showing all 10 students) were taken after all solos
were completed.
PARAMEDIC TRAINING
Rotorflight were recently involved with the new Air Ambulance unit to
be based at Filton. They will co-exist with the existing Police unit
already based there. Rotorflight were asked to provide helicopter ground
training on Principles of Flight (H) and provide the 9 qualified Paramedics
with navigation appreciation using 250,000 and 50,000 OS maps. Additionally
principles like Vortex ring, PFL's and Flapback were demonstrated. Paul
was also invited to take part in the loading and unloading of simulated
stretcher cases in the August 109 Power with a final quick flight at
the controls of the 109. It is hoped that other Ambulance units around
the country will adopt the same training course and hopefully Rotorflight
will be involved.
