OPITO has accredited OEG’s helicopter refuelling training (HRT) course, OEG said May 13. The OPITO Helicopter Refuelling Training Standard 9255 was introduced in collaboration with OEUK’s Aviation Services Task Group.
OEG’s HRT course is held at its state-of-the-art helifuel training academy in Portlethen, Aberdeenshire. Practical onsite training facilities, including a bespoke fuelling system designed and built by OEG that uses JET A-1 fuel, provide realistic experience of aviation fuel handling and sample analysis techniques, as well as quality control and safe storage. This ensures compliance with the UK Civil Aviation Authority’s CAP 437 standard for Offshore Helicopter Landing Areas.
OEG called the accreditation “a significant achievement” that has taken a tremendous amount of hard work and dedication” and it “look forward to extending this value adding service to customers.”
