Built for the Real World
The RHC Pilot Safety Course is designed to sharpen safety awareness through practical, relevant education and training — specifically tailored to the real-world demands of mustering pilots.
Sessions will reinforce aircraft limitations, correct operating procedures, and the standards expected of professional pilots. We focus on improving decision-making by covering key safety topics including common accident causes, emergency procedures, FAA regulations, and human factors.
Participants will examine real helicopter accident scenarios, their causes, and discuss practical ways to prevent future events. The course also revisits key sections of the Pilot Operating Handbook and applies them directly to mustering operations.
