South Australia Police (SAPOL) has partnered with Babcock Australia & New Zealand and the Department of Premier and Cabinet to introduce a new cutting-edge resource to its fleet. The new Airbus Helicopters H145, poised to take to the skies in the coming weeks, promises to revolutionise police operations across the state. One of the standout features of the Airbus H145 is its significantly reduced noise profile. This improvement addresses concerns raised by the community in the past. While we understand the impact of aircraft noise, it’s essential to recognise that many critical tasks performed by PolAir occur during nighttime hours. The helicopter’s infra-red technology assists in locating missing persons, tracking offenders who break into premises, and monitoring high-speed vehicles endangering other road users.` The Airbus H145 will initially undergo rigorous training, with pilots and aircrew honing their skills to ensure seamless integration into SAPOL’s existing capabilities. Upon completion of training, the new aircraft will replace the current one, which will continue to operate alongside it during the training period. This strategic transition ensures uninterrupted service while embracing modern technology. Police Commissioner Grant Stevens said, “This modern addition enhances our operational capabilities and ensures a safer South Australia for all residents”. PolAir plays a pivotal role in supporting ground officers, enhancing community safety, and swiftly responding to incidents. Approximately 50% of demand for the police helicopter arises during darkness, emphasising its critical role in apprehending serious offenders. The new Airbus, although not introducing novel capabilities, boasts updated technologies, ensuring SAPOL remains agile and responsive to community needs. The Airbus H145 will be exclusively dedicated to law enforcement, allowing us to deploy it whenever operational demands arise. SAPOL remains committed to minimising unnecessary flight time, ensuring the helicopter is airborne only when required. When you hear the helicopter overhead, rest assured it’s likely responding to a police incident. https://lnkd.in/gvGBheeW

We are pleased to see the FAA's updated AME guidelines regarding mental health. Our Director of Aviation, Joseph LoRusso recently commented on the news, “While this is encouraging, it does not completely address the FAA's systematic attack on our nation's veterans, which includes both medical AND legal components. We hope this effort by the FAA's aeromedical division is reciprocated by the FAA's Office of the Chief Counsel.” What’re your thoughts on the recent AME guideline update? #aeromedicalreform #mentalhealthmatters #faa #aviationnews #pilotlife #flying #aviationsafety #pilotslicense

Proactive Strategies for Enhanced Performance. Fatigue poses an extensive challenge for aircrews, impacting the performance during the use of NVG for helicopter pilots regardless of their professionalism, motivation, or training. Recognizing the irreplaceability of adequate rest, taking proactive measures can be employed to mitigate fatigue's effects. Incorporating activity breaks tailored to NVG helicopter operations, where pilots engage in brief physical exercises or stretches, helps to counteract the onset of fatigue. Planning with fatigue in mind benefits both the aircrew and the outcome of the mission
