North American Helicopter

North American Helicopter is a helicopter operator in the United States. The site says the company has more than 55 years of history supporting the U.S. government and utility sectors with aerial inspection services. It has locations in the Midwest, Southeast and New England.

The company offers precision external load services. These include aerial crane work for utilities, ski resorts and communication towers. It also does aerial seeding for pipeline right of way reclamation and firefighting.

The company flies a Kaman K-MAX helicopter. The site says it can lift up to 6,000 pounds. It says the aircraft performs well in hot and high density altitude conditions. The fleet also includes Bell 206B3, Bell 206L3 and Bell 407 helicopters.

The site says the company has supported Department of Defense helicopter work for more than 30 years. It is also a partner of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The company provides aerial engineering surveys of waterways from the Canadian border to the Gulf Coast.

Power line patrol is another service. The site says a lineman on the ground covers about 40 miles of wire in an eight hour day. Aerial patrol can cover up to 350 miles in the same time. Pipeline patrol helps find problems before costly leaks happen.

The company is certified as a Part 133 External Load Operator, a 135 Air Carrier and a 145 Repair Station. The site says a maintenance team goes on each mission with a mobile maintenance service pod. This limits downtime on a project.

The central office is at 9405 Airport Boulevard, Mascoutah, Illinois. The phone number is 618-337-4440. Other offices are in Whitefield, Maine and Jacksonville, Florida. The site lists Instagram and Facebook pages.
