Helicopters can land anywhere... or can they? With the use of helicopters in emergency service work becoming more and more commonplace, the risks to people on the ground—and to the aircrew operating to an unprepared landing site—become more complex. A safety coordinator that can prepare and keep safe a helicopter landing site (HLS) and assist aircrew and emergency service workers and members of the public becomes a valuable asset. The IPAS HLSSO course is an addendum to the Mission Crew course.
Trainee understands risks to persons on the ground and risks to approaching/departing aircraft and mitigates against those risks
Trainee learns about the architecture and logic of distribution and transmission lines and can assess their components and understands their placement and associated risks to aircraft and vehicles
Trainee uses tools to conduct a site reconnaissance including approach and departure paths, angles of approach/departure, judging obstacle heights, assessing surfaces, calculating slopes, identifying hazards, identifying paths to/from critical areas (eg accident site and the HLS)
Trainee makes a HLS safe for personnel on the ground and for an approaching/departing aircraft
Trainee learns how to marshal helicopters to assist aircrew with avoiding obstacles or to coordinate landing positions for multiple aircraft
Trainee learns the operational limitations of helicopters with regard to aerodynamics, particularly hovering operations and IGE/OGE performance and take offs and landings and weight and balance
Trainee does team training with an emphasis on aviation-specific skills
Using the SPARROWALL decision-making methodology, the trainee will learn how to make decisions in high-risk and complex environments
Trainee undertakes map reading training relevant to aviation that applies to HLS operations and communicating with aircrew
