Wire strikes are a constant threat for helicopter pilots, a silent enemy lurking just out of sight. Here's what you need to know.

Even the most skilled pilot can face immense pressure to take off, even when the weather screams "stay grounded!" Don’t do it!

With low-altitude flying lies a hidden world of dangers; demanding preparation, clear focus and experience. Don’t get caught out!

Autorotations. We all train for them, but let's be honest - even seasoned pilots can struggle with that perfect touchdown. The culprit is ..

Low-altitude operation puts helicopters at a higher risk of colliding with power lines and other wires, posing a significant threat.

A preflight inspection is an essential part of any flight, and it's important to take the time to do it thoroughly.

These operations require specialized equipment, highly skilled personnel, and an in-depth understanding of mountainous terrain.

Coriolis illusion is a mischievous little gremlin in the pilot's labyrinth of spatial disorientation challenges.

The graveyard spiral is arguably the most insidious of all spatial disorientation illusions, particularly for pilots in low altitude ops.

As the name suggests, the somatogravic illusion arises from a combination of somatosensory (body) and gravitational cues. 

Silent danger lurks at low altitudes. Disoriented senses create illusions, tricking pilots and jeopardizing flight. Fly safe, know the enemy

VFR pilots, beware the storm clouds! Turning back is your ultimate weapon. Don't tempt fate in the unknown.

Human error remains a significant factor in aviation accidents, one of the most effective ways to mitigate this risk is to use a checklist.

How to avoid a collision of the main rotor with obstacles. A great reminder of the importance of situational awareness and hazard avoidance.

A good briefing is essential for ensuring the safety and understanding of everyone on board.

Whether you are a seasoned helicopter pilot or just starting out, read on to learn how to stay safe in the air!

Helicopters are capable of flying at a variety of altitudes, but their performance decreases as they fly higher.

Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) refer to a set of regulations and procedures that govern flight when the pilot cannot rely solely on visuals.

We'll explore the dramatic shift that occurs when a pilot transitions from VFR to IFR flying in helicopters and the challenges and adaptions

Flying under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) brings a new set of challenges to pilots, one of which is spatial disorientation.
