Earlier this week, a pilot operating an international fast jet in Exercise Pitch Black, a training exercise run by the Australian Defence Force, was forced to eject from the aircraft unexpectedly. The incident took place approximately 100 miles south of Darwin. Exercise Pitch Black brings together 20 participating nations and over 140 aircraft from around the world.   CHC teams from RAAF Darwin and RAAF Tindal were in the air within minutes of the activation call. At the incident site, a crewman was hoisted down from Darwin’s AW139 aircraft to the pilot on the ground. In under an hour from the callout, the pilot was winched up and into the helicopter heading to Darwin for medical assessment.   Thanks to the swift and coordinated responses from our crews in collaboration with the Australian Defence Force, the incident was managed safely and effectively. Cameron Dixon, Head of CHC Australia, said, “Thank you to all parties involved for their professionalism, dedication and teamwork during this challenging situation.   “This mission reinforces the value of cross-organisational collaboration and our extensive and standardised training to ensure high-stakes missions are safe and successful.” #Defence #RescueMission #SAR #CHCAustralia #CHCHelicopter

We caught up with the winner of our 2023 Peter Gardiner Grant, Gyasi Boisson, to hear his reflections of the CHC Safety & Quality Summit one year on. Gyasi said, “I had a fantastic time at last year’s summit. Not only did I learn a huge amount from the experts on stage and those who hosted workshop sessions, I made connections with industry leaders in aviation, energy and safety. “Our shared conversations have deepened my appreciation of the critical role safety plays in our industry, and I learned a lot about the role I have to play in nurturing a strong safety culture.” “For anyone thinking of applying – do it! The Peter Gardiner Grant is a great talking point on my CV and helped me to secure my summer internship. I will be applying many of the concepts I learned in my new role.” Gyasi has accepted a summer internship at Air Partner, after which, he will return to Lewis University.
