Laser strikes are rare, but still a risk of which to be aware Although laser strikes are rare occurrences, pilots should be aware of the risks they can present during flight, and how to protect
Preparing for a safe helicopter flight to and from oil rigs Flying a helicopter close to or around an oil rig can be incredibly rewarding and provide unique experiences that could only be achieved via
Spatial Disorientation and How to Help Reduce or Avoid It Spatial disorientation is a crucial safety issue for pilots, as it can lead to catastrophic consequences if not addressed. Spatial orientation is the ability of
