Helicopter logging, also known as heli-logging, allows for selective harvesting, reducing the need for clear-cutting. It allows timber companies to safely cut trees in remote locations, steep terrain and areas normally inaccessible by road. Harvesting timber using heli-logging solutions causes less damage to the surrounding forest and wildlife habitats.
Heli-logging can be a very challenging flying environment due to the complexity of visual references, weather causing limited visibility and mountain flying conditions.
