I cannot believe that I have flown helicopters for 25 years without this course. The single most important safety training course that I have done. Every helicopter pilot should take it.

Bob, even after having the opportunity to preview Part II, it was a great and informative treat to see the entire presentation from start to end. I like the way you made everyone feel necessary.

Have just returned home from brisbane after going to Bob's Flying the Wire and Obstruction Environment Training. I did have a bit of a "i hope this doesn't take all day attitude" before i walked in much to my lack of knowledge about the subject. I have been pretty simple minded about wires, "there's a wire don't hit it ......"
From the moment Bob introduced himself at 9.00am he set about , in a true AL GORE style with the most thorough entertaining educational conference, not to mention excellent food untill 4.30pm." Thank you for providing such an informative course.

I found the course excellent and well presented - Bob is an excellent personality and capable expert in the field. It was a pleasure to host the events and certainly should be considered into the future, especially if it were possible to undergo the advanced training package.

I solicited general feedback from a cross section of the attendees and all agreed that it was a worthwhile course for both pilots and crew. Many were extremely complimentary of the method of course presentation. One of our military helicopter pilots (Chinook) was excited that this was the standard of material being provided to civilian audiences - she indicated that this was an essential part of her military training.

I have personally learned a number of lessons for my own flying style and I have found myself applying the lessons that Bob has so enthusiastically presented. A fair percentage of the material is committed to my memory which, to my reckoning, indicates it has been well presented.

I would like to extend our thanks to yourself, Bob and his wife for making the effort to get into regional Queensland. I believe that this course presents a unique and necessary element in low level operations and I would be happy to advocate it.

Thanks for great CRM & Wire Environment training session at the Rydges, Bass Hill last week. This was undoubtedly one of the best safety type training courses I have ever attended.

Can I reinforce some positive points about the training?

• Very high quality presentation
• Very relevant material
• Presenter was a ‘true’ expert in the subject matter – this is often overlooked
• Audiovisual aids extremely good & useful
• Presentation underpinned by extensive research & incident investigations – invaluable
• Length of course was appropriate – training is often too long these days

Hi Bob,
I had the pleasure of attending your seminar in Blenheim earlier this week.

As you are probably aware we are heavily involved in the Power line industry and having attended this seminar, thought it may be a good idea to look at the possibility of running the course specific to the power line industry for some of our customers and their crews.

Could you let me know availability and cost involved in running a course such as this and any other specifics that may be involved?

Kind regards,

We all enjoyed the presentation, very well done and very educational. In spite of the imposed time constraints, I would have sat for a few more hours to get the full presentation.

Thanks,

Thank you very much for a very essential course. I was one of the pilots and found the content very useful. Please allow me to mention some points.

As a pilot, whom just recently had an accident with a good outcome, I cannot overemphasize how real these dangers are. I therefore found it very disruptive of some course attendees in the way they behaved during the presentation. I can only assume that these members place their lives and ALL the risks of this environment on 1 pair of shoulders. I hope they have placed their funeral song requests. With that attitude, it is absolutely a matter of " when " not " if ". It is respectful to live to view this course with the necessary seriousness.

I hope the future does not make it a privilege but a necessity to attend your course.

Hi Robert,
I just had a few friends go though your course in Vancouver BC and they thought it was really excellent. I was wondering if we could set something up to start running our guys though. Look forward to hearing from you.

I just took the Utility Flight Operations Course Part 1 from Bob and want to pass on my compliments for an excellent course content and presentation. I've had many training sessions from a number of people and must say that this one is the best I've seen yet. Bob kept the whole group interested with his excellent pictures and diagrams and I felt it was well worth my time and really enjoyed the course...keep up the good work!

Mr. Feerst

I would like to thank you for your course we attended in Vernon with ________. It has provided some valuable information I know my partner and I will be looking forward to putting into practice in the near future. There was tremendous content of which I mentioned while briefly talking with you would have incredible impact with the Heli-ski industry.
Again thank you for your time during your program.
