When Covid-19 precautions started affecting operations in the Spring of 2020, Yellowhead Helicopters with the help of Avio Design Group worked on developing a barrier for the cabin of the AStar AS350 and Bell 206/212 helicopters. The design’s supplemental type certificate (STC SH20-26) was approved by Transport Canada in the summer and since then has been installed in active aircraft in the YHL fleet.
On top of the health protocols we already practice – temperature checks, wearing masks inside the aircraft, disinfecting/cleaning, and social distancing whenever possible – the barrier further reduces the risk of virus transmission between clients and flight crew.
Remember that iconic line from the movie “Back to the Future”? Flying in helicopters is almost as good as time-traveling in a customized Delorean. Their unique design and capabilities allow them to perform a wide range of tasks that vehicles with wheels cannot do. Let’s dive into the fascinating world of helicopters and explore what the workhorse of the skies can do.
