Aerial Construction

With the increasing costs of erecting a crane and nature of construction time lines, Skyline developed a niche as a leader in this field. Most of Skyline’s flying incorporates a very high degree of precision and production type flying. This combination made us a natural fit for construction companies needing safe and efficient precision placement of loads or men.

Forestry & Firefighting

Skyline has long been involved in fire fighting operations for multiple fire agencies across Canada. Due to our expertise in mountain flying and vertical reference (longline) operations we are often involved in these types of challenging environments.
Our helicopters are all equipped with Bambi Max Bucket and foam delivery systems as well as GPS navigation to provide pinpoint accuracy when delivering water, materials and crew to the fire.

Heli-Skiing is one of the most enjoyable experiences for individuals who appreciate being in the mountains in the winter months. Skyline has been actively involved in this industry since it’s inception.

Because this type of flying can prove to be quite challenging, we hand pick our ski pilots to ensure our clients have the best that the industry has to offer. Our pilots come from a mountain background which enables them to have a superior understanding of our clients needs, as well as the particulars associated with working helicopters in a mountainous environment.

Our aircraft have also undergone significant modifications to the airframe, driveline and engines, to increase safety and improve performance.

Together, we strive to help make their operations run more safely and efficiently, and provide a better end product to their customers. Our primary concern has been, and always will be the Safety of our passengers, and we are committed to upholding this.

Our current Heli-ski clients are:

Heli-Skiing

Hydro

Skyline Operates primarily twin engine helicopters for this type of specialized work; however we do have authorization to conduct Class D operations with the AW119Ke MKII single engine helicopter as well.

Our Pilots have extensive experience which includes most aspects of power line construction:

  • Steel setting
  • Pole setting
  • Sock line pulling with fly travellers
  • Insulator hanging
  • Beneath energized conductor belly slinging (5L 30-32)
  • Between conductor longline slinging
  • Bridge landings and all of the duties included in both wood and steel structure construction.

While most of our experience is in construction and servicing, Skyline pilots have logged many hours on patrols as well. Our Aviation Risk Analysis Process will look at your needs to tailor the type of helicopter required as well as the specialized skills required by our pilots to safely conduct business in the wire environment.

Skyline has over the past decade been very actively involved in the exploration industry.

With the capabilities of our fleet with the Bell 212HP and Koala aircraft, it has proven to be a nice fit for our customers. Combined with lifting capability, speed and experienced crews we provide the best rate of return per pound or passenger delivered for our customers.

Mining Exploration

Search & Rescue

Skyline and its pilots have been actively involved in Class D (HETS) and Medivac operations. Our knowledge of flying in the mountains as well as being able to perform challenging precision placements in inaccessible areas, offers rescue agencies a level of comfort and flexibility when conducting SAR missions.

Skyline uses Rappel and Class D to insert & extract patients from an accident scene. Together with the expertise of the rescue teams it makes for a safe and quick evacuation for the patient and minimizes risk exposure to rescue personnel.

Skyline is primarily a utility Helicopter operation utilizing a fleet of Bell 212HPs and Agusta Westland 119Ke Koala. One of our primary missions involves supporting Oil and Gas exploration in the form of helicopter onshore support of data acquisition (seismic).

Heli-Portable Seismic

“Heli-Portable Seismic” is the movement of seismic equipment and crews. Seismic equipment is moved via a long line attached to the above-mentioned aircraft, while crews are flown separately to support this equipment internally utilizing the same aircraft.

This type of operation over the past two decades has proven to be the safest and most efficient method of conducting seismic operations in remote locations. This form of transportation allows our customers to better utilize their time and better manage their equipment in rough terrain, while minimizing the potential risk to the general public, ground and flight crews, and the environment.

Skyline Helicopters is internationally recognized as one of the premiere heli-portable and seismic helicopter support providers by various Oil and Gas clients throughout the world. Skyline has been involved in Seismic/Data acquisition operations since its inception. It has been working in all facets of seismic from front end through drilling and the recording segments of 2D and 3D programs.
