SAFETY IS EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBILITY AND REDUCING RISK IS IN EVERY THOUGHT.

As an industry leader, Pathfinder participates globally in improving the safety of the aviation industry and dedicates countless man hours to actively participating in organizations such as Aviation Sub-Committee of OGP, Helicopter Safety Advisory Conference (HSAC), HeliOffshore and more that are committed to enhancing safety. Flight Data Monitoring, HUMS data analysis, Level D Simulation, LOFT crew training, FRMS, ORM and contingency planning are among a few tangible examples of how committed Pathfinder is to improving outcomes.

Remote operations experts

Our business is often conducted in extreme weather conditions and in remote areas. These factors, combined with the inherent nature of aviation, are why safe flight operations are our highest priority and top commitment to our customers and employees. The safety performance of our operation is continually monitored, proactively and reactively, to ensure that our key safety goals continue to be achieved. Some key elements of this monitoring program include internal and external audits, flight checks, and quality assurance reviews.

Pathfinder has a fully integrated Safety Management System (SMS) recognized by the FAA and regularly participates in third-party audits.

All of our pilots and mechanics are sent annually through rigorous training on the specific type of helicopter they will be operating. Our incorporation of proactive factory training with the aircraft manufacturer and the Federal Aviation Administration insures our ability to uphold this high level of expectation and safety. Our pilots have extensive experience flying in Alaska’s unique environment. The mechanics maintaining our equipment all have many years of hands-on experience as well.

Foresight MX uses smart sensors to monitor critical components that are starting to wear. Prognostic algorithms display when maintenance may be required. In addition, the advanced HUMS tracks flight data, exceedances, and guides rotor track and balance.

FlightDocs fully integrates flight department management and reduces our inefficiencies, costs, and increases aircraft uptime.

Modern web and native mobile applications reduce our paperwork, enhance compliance workflows, and give us real-time access to operational data from anywhere.
