Sterling Insurance Pilot Sponsorship Draw

This is a free-to-enter prize draw open to current helicopter pilots with fewer than 500 total flight hours. Pilots may be nominated by their operator or may nominate themselves. To enter, submissions must include the nominated pilot's name, operator or employer (if applicable), total flight hours, and a brief statement of why they would benefit from attending. Nominations close Tuesday 30 June 2026 and two sponsored tickets will be drawn at random from all valid entries on Wednesday 1 July 2026. Recipients must be available to attend the RHC Pilot Safety Course in Darwin, 7–9 July 2026. Sponsorship covers course registration fees only. Travel and accommodation are the responsibility of the recipient. If a recipient is unable to attend, an alternate will be drawn from remaining nominations. This draw is conducted by the Australian Helicopter Industry Association (AHIA) in partnership with Sterling Insurance. AHIA's decision is final.
