EC135 Endorsements for CFT Instructors

Early today, our Chief Flying Instructor Tub Matheson and senior grade 1 instructor, Kurt Brumley, left for our Gladstone base to be endorsed on our Eurocopter EC135.

They will be endorsed by Chopperline's Mark 'Jayfer' Evans and Matt Feather, our senior base pilots at Gladstone. Matt & Jayfer came to us as Eurocopter 'Tiger' instructors.

We anticipate that Tub & Kurt will be away for up to a week while the gain their endorsement and corresponding Marine Pilot Transfer command time. Tub and Kurt will then be used from time to time as relief pilots at both Gladstone and Hay Point.
This experience will further benefit Tub, Kurt and our students, given the ongoing exposure to high tech multi engine IFR helicopters is the way of the future in our industry.
