I also attach the CV and ICAR certificate for Mihael Avbelj. Best regards Dusan Polajnar strokovni delavec GRZS Bleiweisova 34 SI - 4000 Kranj E: [email protected] E: [email protected] T: +38642927991 G:+38641603335 W: www.grzs.si https://webmail.your-server.de/imp/view.php?view_token=h_qBbQYwjl5fOAB9v0y... 23.08.2018 Mihael Avbelj 4260 Bled Date: 22. 8. 2018 Application for position of president of Air Rescue Commission and CV As applicant for position of president of ICAR Air Rescue Commission (ARC) I am providing the following description of my experience and competencies: I became member of Mountain Rescue Association of Slovenia in 1998, first as apprentice, and gained full membership in 2002 thru becoming a helicopter technical crewmember – winch operator. I gained considerable number of mountain rescue and also HEMS missions as crewmember, besides my other duties as crewmember of police helicopter and employee of Slovenia police air support unit. I also became instructor of winch operators and became author of training program for technical crewmembers and winch operations Standard Operating Procedures for my employer. I was always thriving for better and particularly safer execution of helicopter mountain rescue missions, as I was also deeply touched by tragic accident that happened during helicopter mountain rescue training mission that took life of five rescuers in june 1997 – just when I joined Slovenia police air support unit. My efforts in this field were noticed by then president of Air rescue subcommittee of Mountain rescue association of Slovenia, Mr. Janez Brojan, and my first ICAR Congress was in Zermatt in May 2001. ICAR became a crucial source of information and experience that allowed me to gain a lot of knowledge and creating a network of contacts and lasting friendships. I tried to pay back with exchange of information and participating in debate. (see attached recommendation) I attended almost all ICAR Congresses until now (missed three events), so I have quite some experience on how these events are run from delegate`s perspective. In parallel, I became involved in somewhat similar association of Police Air support units Conference Europe – a non-government, non-profit European association of flying policemen. This also became an important source of information and my intensive involvement led to becoming elected two terms as Secretary, being member of Steering Committee of EU project AGIS in 2006 and later involved in morphing into new organization PavCon Europe. This provided me with considerable experience in management of such international associations. Thru the time I realized that management is very important part of successful execution of air rescue service so I enrolled in University of Maribor and gained diploma in organization and management in 2012 with thesis on proposal for organization and improvement of helicopter rescue service in Slovenia that included study of several countries helicopter rescue systems. When a call for new ICAR ARC president and vice president came, I was contacted by several delegates from ARC to apply for position of president or at least vice president. I am willing to accept the challenge and responsibility, as it is time to start giving back to this well respected organization and its incredible people and, most importantly, to the people in need, that we are helping every day. I believe that a combination of technical and management education, practical experience and skills that I acquired thru the 20 years of working in air rescue business, in aviation in general for 29 years and my strong will to work towards goals of ICAR can be of benefit for this organization. Personal information, education, skills and relevant experience is listed below: PERSONAL DATA Name and surname: Mihael Avbelj Adress: 4260 Bled Tel. mobil: e-mail: Birth date: Citizenship : Slovenian I live in mountain area near Bled with my family, having two sons, 9 and 13 years old.

We accept no responsibility for the use or application of this information. We suggest that readers contact the specific government and military programme offices if seeking to confirm the reliability of any data. 1 MARKET OVERVIEW Broadly speaking, the global helicopter market is currently facing a two- pronged assault. The military helicopter segment has been impacted significantly by continued defense budgetary pressures across most traditional markets, and a recent slide in global crude oil prices has impacted the demand for new civil helicopters as well as the level of activity for existing fleets engaged in the offshore oil & gas exploration sector. This situation has impacted industry OEMs significantly, many of which had been working towards strengthening the civil helicopter segment to partially offset the impact of budgetary cuts on the military segment. However, the medium- to long-term view of the market is promising given the presence of strong fundamentals and persistent, sustainable growth drivers. The market for military helicopters in particular is set to cross a technological threshold in the form of next-generation compound helicopters and tilt rotorcraft.

A mountain guide had requested rescue for an exhausted client unable to continue. The guide was anchored to a block. Both clients in succession were tied a few metres below him. The lowest client was also anchored to a block. A rescuer was lowered from a Lama onto the ridge to evacuate the client between the guide and the other client. When the rescuer and victim were about to get hoisted, the guide noticed his rope laying over one of the packs hanging from the rescue load.

The real cost of helicopter training consists of many variables but includes the hourly costs associated with fuel, maintenance and insurance. Training in simulators provides a low cost virtually risk-free alternative allowing pilots to be trained for emergencies and other dangerous real world experiences. Safety Pilot flying skills Historically a large number of serious accidents have Flight control malfunctions such as loss of control of the tail occurred when training in helicopters.

  • Bell Helicopter Corporation
    Bell Helicopter Corporation In the early 1930 's, Arthur Young , a brilliant young inventor, built and successfully demonstrated a viable, flyable helicopter model. Larry Bell , a successful entrepreneur and founder of the Bell Aircraft Corporation , was so impressed with Young's efforts that in 1941 he set the youthful inventor up in a small shop in Gardenville, New York At that time Bell was already a manufacturer of conventional aircraft such as the WWII fighter P-39 Airacobra and the P-59, America's first jet-powered airplane. In addition, Bell was to develop the X-1, which was to become the world's first super- sonic plane. By 1951, Bell helicopters were in service around the world, breaking records as fast as they were setting them. And since Bell Aircraft Corporation's reputation for helicopter manufacture began to rival its reputation as a builder of conventional aircraft , the company created a separate helicopter division which was headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas. Today, with Bell helicopters flying in more than 120 different countries , they are logging another ten hours every minute of every day. 1935 : Bell Aircraft Corporation 56 employees make up the entire staff of the newly found Corporation. 1941 : Development begins on the first Bell helicopter. With a tethered control line model, Arthur Young proves his invention is workable. 1942 : Gardenville, New York becames the site for Arthur Young and his apprentice, Bartram Kelley to produce a full-size vertical takeoff aircraft. 1943 : Bell 30 The ship #1 nicknamed Genevieve flies for the first time 1945 : Bell 47 ( H-13 Sioux ) The Model 47 would subsequently set the stage for a whole new industry.
