Safety First

This is demonstrated by our thorough aircraft maintenance, pre-flight checks and crew briefings, pilot and ground crew skills and experience, and our induction and training programs. We have implemented a Safety Management System, and regular audits by contractors and internal company audits are conducted to ensure that we maintain the best practices and the highest quality.
Our aircraft are equipped with the following safety features:
For over-water flights - emergency pop-out floats, liferafts, lifejackets, and sealed first-aid kits

Setting High Standards for Performance

Helipower operates its own aircraft, including one Eurocopter AS350 B3, two Bell 407s, and two Robinson R66 aircraft. Our aircraft are maintained to the highest standards, ensuring that aircraft are operational when required, eliminating any disruption to operations. Maintenance is carried out over and above scheduled requirements and components are replaced prior to the end of their scheduled life – there can be no room for equipment failure when operating in remote locations.
Our services are deployed with attention to detail and precision planning. We provide practical solutions to the significant environmental, logistical, payload capacity, weather and other challenges. We have a demonstrated ability to get the job done without compromising quality or safety.
To minimise fuel ferry time and optimise on-site capabilities, Helipower strategically positions fuel depots across northern and central Australia. We are equipped to sustain extended field operations. Our resources include a bulk fuel tanker with a capacity of 45,000 litres, approved IBC fuel units, and dedicated ground support crews.
We continuously strive for innovation by harnessing the latest technologies and providing aircraft tailored specifically for our contract clients.
Air-conditioned aircraft for fatigue management
Auxilliary fuel tanks (to extend flight time). These tanks have in-flight fuel transfer capability, increasing the hours on task
Synthetic Vision (Garmin G500) to reduce the pilot workload and improve situational awareness
