Conditions change. Sound judgement remains essential.

The right aircraft and equipment are only part of the picture. Preparation, crew experience and knowing when to proceed, wait or change the plan matter just as much.

At BAC Helicopters, our focus is not simply on what the aircraft can do, but on making the right decisions for each flight.

BAC Helicopters' offshore operations continue to support clients around the country, most recently completing multiple crew changes to the FA Platform off Mossel Bay.

Flying our Airbus AS365 N3+, our crews work hand in hand with the platform's Helideck Landing Officer and deck teams to keep every rotation safe and professional, from pre-flight planning to the last passenger stepping onto the helideck.

A big thank you to our pilots, engineers and ground teams for another job well done.

Trusted by the US Coast Guard and now tackling Africa’s challenging coastal conditions.

The Airbus AS365 N3+ brings unmatched reliability, speed, and performance to critical medevac, search and rescue, and offshore missions.

Some early starts come with a view like this. One of the quieter privileges of offshore work: first light from places most people never reach.

Positioning for a crew change off the Durban coast, winter sunrise on the water.

For those who fly or work offshore: what does first light look like from where you are?

BAC crew spent the last week of April 2026 on the AS365 N3+ full-flight simulator in France. Operator Proficiency Checks, instrument and night helideck currency, Category A profiles, and Line-Oriented Flight Training under deteriorated weather. All to IOGP 690 and BARS offshore standards.

The simulator is where emergencies are trained in sequence, under pressure, before the aircraft ever needs it. Recurrent training is part of shaping an active safety culture.

Thank you to the team at Héli-Union Training Center for the professionalism and support throughout.
