HELICOPTER LANDING OFFICER (HLO)

OPITO has revised its Training Standards for HLO qualifications. The document HELIDECK OPERATIONS INITIAL TRAINING (HOIT) Standard rev. 0 Amendment 2 outlines the new standards for HLO certification.

In addition to holding a Dangerous Goods Certificate and a Radio Operator’s Certificate of Competence (ROCC), the prospective Helicopter Landing Officer now has to complete:

The 2-day Helideck Operations Initial Training (HOIT) course (Available online)
The 3-day Helideck Emergency Response Team Leader (HERTL) course, which includes the Helideck Emergency Response Team Member (HERTM) training. (Available online)

On completion of these 2 courses, the candidate can be certified as a HLO.

Flight Safety Africa offers an online option for both the 2-day HOIT course and the 3-day HERTL course, in order for the candidate to be certified as having completed the OPITO Equivalent training, as per the requirement of IOGP Report 690.

Flight Safety Africa can also recommend a CAA Certified online course for the Dangerous Goods Certificate, and a CAA certified Aeronautical Radio Telephony trainer for VHF Radio.

For more details, see HOIT and HERTL.

IOGP Report 690 allows for the Certification of the HLO to be an equivalent to the OPITO Standards.

Flight Safety Africa can also offer a 5-day combined HOIT and HERTL course that fully complies with the OPITO standards, covering all aspects of the required Helideck Operations Initial Training and Helicopter Emergency Response Training.
