It may be many miles from my home shores and the words may have been spoken by an American but they rang somewhat true to the situation at home where the new and developing National Police Air Service is still finding its feet. I was sitting in on the Unit Managers Course when the instructor, a greatly respected man who earned his respect by running a large and successful air operation, reminded his stu- dents of their purpose in life. “If the cops on the street are not screaming for you to come in the expectation of getting [air support] help, the operation is flawed and should be considered a failure” Bryn Elliott LAW ENFORCEMENT BRAZIL PARA: Emergency services aviation in Brazil has reportedly fallen on hard times. A few years ago the sector had in place a major forward plan that encompassed most of Brazil’s States and most of the airborne service provision and was expected to see growth in re- sources and manpower controlled within a number of complex governing groups [DFNSP, CAVSEG, CONAV, AEAP, SENASP] but when President Rousseff took power in 2011 she swept them away leaving a vacuum.

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.

    European Aviation Safety Agency Notice of Proposed Amendment 2018-13 Appendix I to AMC to Annex III (Part-66) Aircraft type ratings for Part-66 aircraft maintenance licences RMT.0541 (66.024) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) addresses a regulatory coordination issue related to aircraft type ratings. According to the AMC to Annex III (Part-66), type ratings should be endorsed on an aircraft maintenance licence (AML) in accordance with Appendix I to AMC to Part-66 ‘List of type ratings’. An NPA is issued regularly to amend this list, after assessing feedback received from the industry, and to add new aircraft types or to remove aircraft types whose type certificate (TC) has been revoked or surrendered. This NPA adds also the tables of the new Group as a consequence of the introduction of the ‘L’ licence subcategories by Commission Regulation (EU) 2018/1142. The main objective is to ensure a common standard throughout the Member States. Action area: Regular updates/review of rules Affected rules: AMC/GM to Annex III (Part-66) to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 Affected stakeholders: Maintenance certifying staff; maintenance training organisations; maintenance organisations; competent authorities Driver: Efficiency/proportionality Rulemaking group: No Impact assessment: None Rulemaking Procedure: Standard 12.5.2009 5.12.2018 2019/Q2 TE.RPRO.00034-008 © European Aviation Safety Agency.

But get a little closer, and there are clues to be found —the manicured lawns that surround the facility, the pris- tine parking lot, the immaculately decorated interior with hallways that feature dimensionally exact runway markings — that this is home to no ordinary utility Dhelicopter company. It is, in fact, the headquarters of CHI Aviation — the company that made headlines and grabbed wider industry attention last year when it took over VIH Cougar’s offshore contracts in the hugely competitive Gulf of Mexico, a market that’s not used to having to welcome new entrants. Formerly known as Construction Helicopters, it’s a company that has been more than happy to remain under the radar until its enormous growth made that no longer possible.

  • Lci Agrees Two Multi-Year Debt Facilities to Underpin Australian Growth ______
    LCI AGREES TWO MULTI-YEAR DEBT FACILITIES TO UNDERPIN AUSTRALIAN GROWTH __________________________________________ 6 October, 2015 – LCI, the aviation leasing arm of the Libra Group, has finalised two long-term debt facilities to support over US$200m of incremental fleet growth in Australia. Westpac Banking Corporation will act as sole lender, security trustee and agent to support LCI’s recent multi-year agreement to lease four new AgustaWestland AW139 helicopters to Australia’s Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service. The helicopters will be delivered in the second half of 2016 and, following fit-out for emergency medical service (EMS) operations, will be deployed in Northern New South Wales on contract to NSW Ambulance, on behalf of NSW Health within the Government of New South Wales. The high-specification aircraft, including full medical and rescue equipment and winch, have been financed under a tripartite, 10-year arrangement with Westpac Banking Corporation, an existing financier of LCI and long-term naming rights sponsor of the helicopter operator. LCI also recently concluded an agreement to lease six new AgustaWestland AW139 aircraft to Australian Helicopters Pty Ltd, a member of the Babcock Mission Critical Services Group. The aircraft will be progressively delivered to Australian Helicopters through 2015 and 2016 and, following arrival in Australia, will be modified for EMS operations. Once deployed, they will be operated on behalf of Air Ambulance Victoria and in due course replace their older aircraft. The aircraft will be financed through an innovative, 10-year facility that LCI has concluded with Westpac Banking Corporation, acting as security trustee, agent, lender and hedge counterparty and National Australia Bank, acting as lender and hedge counterparty.
