Atlantic History still an important and not always easy task. The Faroe Islands can be as tricky as they are beautiful. The flying was done with the Bell 212, which during this period really got the chance to prove itself. Though the company not yet had HEMS flying on their agenda, the

experienced crew knew the fjords so well, that they on more than one occasion were called out to pick up patients from remote islands.

Since it’s start on the 24’th of March 1994, Atlantic Helicopters, Atlantic Airways’ helicopter division, has operated North Atlantic Waters. Even though the first years only meant routing the Islands with passengers, this was

SAR/HEMS

contract with the Faroese Government In the years to come, pilots from Atlantic would conduct a lot of sling work around the Islands, giving them an even better understanding of the very special meteorological environment the Faroe Islands have to offer.

How ever special the task was, the Bell 212 came in handy, and solved many special cases. From slinging tractors, fish and cement to film making.

In 2000 Atlantic Helicopters signed a contract with the Faroese Government to undertake SAR/HEMS in Faroese waters.

To reach this goal, Atlantic purchased a new helicopter. Because of the good experience with the Bell type, which had proven it self on so many occasions, the choice fell on the B412. A Bell 412 EP

with four axis autopilot entered service in 2000, and for almost ten years, Atlantic has had an aircraft with crew, including a rescue team, on std. by 24/7. Since then, the operation with 50 callouts a year has proven the need. Also the pilots started to undergo training with Flight Safety International in Texas on a regular basis.

Off-shore one of the best in the field

As well as entering SAR/ HEMS service, this last decade has also given Atlantic the opportunity to gain experience in the off-shore industry.

Atlantic has operated offshore from Norwich and Den Helder as well as from Faroese soil, during exploration drilling. Furthermore the company has undertaken crew changes for seismic companies in the North Sea and North Atlantic.

These tasks, together with island routing, sling loading, hoisting etc. have molded the crews of Atlantic Helicopters to be one of the best in the field.

Other yearly training to mention could be HUET with breathing equipment, CRM, Dangerous Goods, Fire Fighting, Advanced First Aid, and of course a proficiency check every 6 months.

Many of our pilots also have supplementary experience from other parts of the world. From the Persian Gulf, to the cold desert of Greenland.

To this day, Atlantic Helicopters has not been involved in any serious incident.
