COLORADO HELICOPTERS

When I began to hire pilots, I knew that they had to be aggressive, but also safe, willing, and capable. They also had to have high quality aircraft mechanics working alongside them. And everyone needed to be efficient. For instance, in the field, we would refuel hot (with the engine running) so the customer's time was not wasted in shutting down and starting up. Since we only charged for time actually in the air and not time on the ground with the engine running, customers loved it. We worked out procedures to ensure the safety of this practice, and never had any problems with it. Our insurance company and the FAA approved it... We also provide an FAA-approved Flight Manual Supplement for the Hughes, McDonnell Douglas. and, MD Helicopter Pilot Flight Manuals.
