At the recent and very successful RotorTech held in Brisbane we were given a great opportunity to network with our colleagues and industry professionals in person a luxury not afforded our industry for over three years.
As part of Rotortech we ran a conference with some very informative presentations given by manufacturers, safety panels, ATSB and our board. One standout passionate presentation was given by one of our industry’s legends, John Armstrong, who particularly emphasised the risks of low-level operations.

Decisions, decisions, decisions...
A variety of factors and influences drive the need for constant decision making. Some are driven by regulatory compliance, some are inspired by environmental dynamics and, importantly, some originate purely from us as individuals, either planned over a longer time frame or spontaneous.

Dear Member,
I suspect many of you have had little or no break over the past few weeks.
Again, the AHIA acknowledges with pride the ongoing outstanding work by all involved in the efforts to bring the fires under control and in supporting the many devastated communities.
