A word from Transwest Helicopters

Annual pilot training will last for several days. This annual training is required by Transport Canada to ensure that our pilots are current and ready to fly safely this summer season.We understand that our helicopters are large and are fairly noisy and we ask your understanding for this relatively short period of time. We have to follow Transport Canada guidelines for these type of pilot test maneuvers, which require that we fly close to the Airport and also stick to the approved flight path over Oliver. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to call Transwest at 250-498-6691.
