Emergency services- There are some incidents that need inspected
quickly so helicopters are used in case of emergency to reach scene
of accident and this can save a lot of lives. They offer pilot training
which can help to reduce pilot workload as they present offers
through which it can help student’s desire to become a pilot (pay
their fees in instalments).To keep the emission low the aircrafts
which are used in this category are smaller aircrafts, for example
helicopters or propellers (which are supportive towards environment
and reduces pollution). It also offers recreation operations which can
helps students get an experience of the flight and to ensure they
are focused on the right path. They must ensure that compliance for
the requirements of the air worthiness directive is met, to ensure
safety of property and lives.
Some examples are:
Flight school – they provide pilot training for the aviation
industry. They run programmes that enable individuals to
gain pilot licences such as Private Pilot’s Licence (PPL),
Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL), Multi-Crew Pilot Licence
(MPL) and Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL).
Air taxi – these are organisations that provide air taxi
services for short-haul flights on aircrafts such as
helicopters, propeller planes or light jets. Because of their
small size they can land and take-off from shorter runways
and landing strips. Examples of organisations providing air
taxi services are Jet Air based in London and Air Charter
Service (ACS) with offices in the UK, Canada, and the USA.
Emergency service– These are organisations such as the
East Anglian Air Ambulance and London’s Air Ambulance
that provide “exceptional care in exceptional
circumstances”. The London’s Air Ambulance has its helipad
at the Royal London Hospital at Whitechapel.
