AW139 Helicopter on Search and Rescue Exercise MOD 45151098

SARTU have a comprehensive mountain flying package, that starts with basic techniques for safely operating in a mountainous environment and swiftly moves to valley and bowl approaches and advanced techniques which can be used in more difficult weather - strong winds, turbulence etc. We also run a complete Advanced Training course teaching handling and CRM in a multi engined helicopter as well as navigation, instrument flying, SAR and mountains.

Both ab-initio and experienced aircrew destined for RAF or RN SAR complete advanced courses at SARTU. These courses cover all aspects: basic winching in a safe environment, overwater hovering to rescue downed aircrew, locator beacon homing and winching to cliffs and boats.
