Utility helicopters for sale

Utility helicopters are versatile and reliable aircraft that can be used for a wide range of mission profiles and require specialized equipment and training to ensure safe and efficient operations in challenging environments. The helicopter models used for these missions are designed to be rugged, reliable, and able to operate in a variety of weather conditions and terrain.

Some common utility helicopter mission profiles:

• Construction: Utility helicopters are used for aerial construction work, such as transporting heavy equipment, concrete, and other materials to remote or inaccessible construction sites. Helicopters used for this mission profile are typically equipped with cargo hooks and slings to transport heavy loads.
• Transportation of personnel: Utility helicopters are often used to transport personnel, such as military troops, police officers, or search-and-rescue teams, to remote locations.
• Cargo transport: Utility helicopters can also be used to transport cargo, such as building materials, supplies, or equipment, to locations that are not accessible by ground transportation.
• Aerial firefighting: Utility helicopters are often used for firefighting operations, dropping water or fire retardant onto forest fires to help contain them.
• Search-and-rescue: Utility helicopters can be used for search-and-rescue missions, helping to locate and rescue individuals who are lost or injured in remote or hard-to-reach locations. These operations may involve hoist and winch operations to extract individuals from difficult terrain or water.
• Offshore oil-and-gas transport: Utility helicopters are commonly used for transporting personnel and equipment to offshore oil-and-gas platforms.
• Logging: Utility helicopters are used for logging operations, particularly in remote or rugged terrain where ground-based equipment is not practical. Helicopters used for this mission profile are typically equipped with cargo hooks and slings to transport logs from the logging site to processing facilities.
