UTILITY HELICOPTERS PTY LTD

Utility Helicopters is a privately owned company at Archerfield Airport in Brisbane, Queensland. It specialises in utility air work, helicopter flight training, air transfers and custom experiences. The company says its team has over 50 years of combined experience across Australia and New Zealand.

The flight school offers recreational, private and commercial licences. It also offers theory courses for the PPL(H) and CPL(H), class and type ratings, and conversion licences for civilian and overseas pilots. Endorsements include sling, low level, mustering and aerial fire application. English language proficiency testing is also offered.

Training is one on one, and the company keeps a limited student intake. It says it is one of the few companies in Queensland that can handle an entire licence, covering theory, flying and testing. Flight reviews and endorsements can be done on location around Australia.

A trial introductory flight lets people take the controls before they commit to training. The flight time counts towards a helicopter pilot licence if they decide to pursue one. Scenic helicopter flights run throughout Brisbane and beyond, and the company also offers machine ferrying across Australia and air transfers.

Aerial work includes heavy lift crane services with loads up to one tonne. Jobs include communication towers, concrete delivery, tree removal, difficult access sites, waste removal, air handling units, roof and solar panels, and power poles. Other aerial work includes aerial incendiary operations, fire fighting, and aerial film and photography.

The company has clearance to operate across Brisbane, including the approach paths to Brisbane International Airport.
