In this IIL aviation presentation, Captain Amadeus talks about helicopter operations, flying careers, associated risks and helicopter accidents.

Description

In this session, Philip discusses the responsibilities, difficulties and opportunities associated with flying helicopters. It is a less well-paid division of aviation, but Philip argues that it is more fun with opportunities to fly the rich and famous. However, as insurers know, there is a greater risk of things going badly wrong.

Philip will also share his personal experience of air accidents, including two of the most high-profile in this country in recent years.
