This summer CHC Europe introduces the worlds first dedicated Search
and Rescue-configured Sikorsky S-92 for the UK Maritime and Coastguard
Agency (MCA) contract. July 1 marks the official start date for the contractawarded in December 2005, but much work has been going on behind the
scenes for more than year and a half. In addition to four SAR S-92s, CHC
will introduce three SAR-configured Agusta Westland AW139 aircraft.
The aircraft will be stationed at four bases in the United Kingdom. The two
northern bases, at Stornoway and Sumburgh, will use the Sikorsky S-92
and the southern bases, at Lee-on-Solent and Portland, will use the AW139.

exchange threats and dozens of other
complex issues.
Below is a brief update on some of
the strategic initiatives we are working on:SOX
Compliance with Section 404 of US
Sarbanes Oxley legislation is critical for
many reasons. For example, SOX provides
us with an opportunity to examine all
process and systems with a view to reducing
risk and increasing efficiency, particularly
in finance and operations. Under the SOX
initiative, we are establishing consistent
processes and controls throughout the
world, and ensuring that policies and
procedures are effective in all locations.
LeasingWe have established excellent relationships
with lease financing institutions and are
now working diligently with new partners
to lease-finance the majority of new air-
craft coming into the CHC fleet.
As well, we are negotiating with our
senior lenders to increase the companys
debt capacity to finance projects such as
the Harmonized UK SAR bid project,
Heli-One expansion at Boundary Bay,
Canada, and build-up for the New
South Wales EMS contract in Australia.
We are also looking at broadeningavailable borrowing currencies to
reduce our foreign exchange exposure.
Foreign Exchange
There are two types of foreign exchange
exposure: translational, which relates to
the conversion of one euro, NOK, GBP
and USD earnings to Canadian dollar
results, and transactional, related to
transactions within a company. We do
not hedge against translational currency
changes but we have an extensive program
to hedge transactional cashflow exposures.
This has been a big challenge for us thisyear and we are achieving significant
success in this area.
Financial Reporting
We are significantly improving the strength
of our financial reporting processes.
We are generating financial reports faster
and with greater accuracy, allowing CHC
to respond more quickly to changes in
business conditions. Our Financial
Sylvain Allard
As you all know, the
Company is going through
a period of phenomenal
growth as demand increases
for the services we provide.
One of the most importantelements of our service
is safety. This is why we have to be more
focused than ever on improving our safety
record. We must continue to make safety
improvement the number one priority
despite additional demands placed upon us.
CHC recently hosted an international
Safety and Quality Summit in Vancouver,
where we addressed this very issue and
welcomed 150 participants from outside
CHC, including our customers,
government agencies and our competitors.
I believe that fully sharing industry bestpractices is the best way to reduce accidents
and save lives and help CHC in the
process. As I have said before, if another
operator has an accident, it hurts CHC.
It impacts public perception of our
business, it prompts greater customer
scrutiny and it closes potential markets
and drives up insurance rates.
The industry accident rate as measured
by International Organization of Oil and
Gas Producers (OGP) is 1.86 accidents
per 100,000 flight hours. Our safety record
is well below that, at 0.49. We havesurpassed the 200,000 flight hour mark
this year, which is great news, but it means
that even at our current rate, we would
have one accident every year. Clearly that
is not acceptable. We need to set our target
at zero accidents.
Today we have a more open culture
in aviation and it is getting better. We try
to learn from what happened and we go
well beyond blaming the crew. Thats why
the theme of this years conference was
Building an Error-Tolerant System. That
is not to say we tolerate errors or promotea 100% no-blame culture. But we know
humans make errors. So we want to foster
a culture where we use Safety Management
System processes to build complete
transparency and create redundancies
so those errors will not result in a
catastrophic accident.
Successful Growth Requires a Culture of Transparency in Safety and Finance
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Rick Davis
CHC reported the highest
quarterly revenue figure
in the companys history
on March 14 and the
increase was significant:
17% compared to the
third quarter last year.
We are extremely proud of our European
Operations, Global Opearions and
Heli-One group who have worked hard
to achieve this growth.At the operations level, we continue
to introduce new aircraft and mange extra
training requirements, parts availability
issues and all the complications associated
with introducing new technology. At the
same time, the finance team has dealt
with an unprecedented number of lease
transactions, SOX issues, accounting policy
and regulatory changes, tax issues, foreign
CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
By the time the fiscal year ends April 30,
we will have added nearly $500 million
worth of aircraft to the CHC fleet in 12
months. This represents an unprecedented
period of growth, not just for CHC,
but for our entire industry. It also means
an increased workload in pilot andengineering training, logistics support,
lease financing, inventory management
and dozens of other support functions.
It must also inspire us, individually
and as a company, to make a significant
investment in safety.
This period of growth is expected
to persist until 2010 and beyond. Global
offshore operating expenditures (OPEX)
are expected to increase 70% over the
next five years. Additionally, the UK
Harmonized Search and Rescue (SAR)
contract could more than double thesize of European civilian helicopter SAR
operations. It all adds up to the most
exciting and challenging time in the
history of the helicopter services industry.
We must be able to manage this growth
in a safe, efficient manner if we are to
prosper and strengthen our Company.

CHC CORPORATE
David Gay
Director, Inventory Management & Sourcing, Heli-One
In todays competitive marketplace MROs must differentiate themselves from thecompetition in order to survive. One of the many strategies that we are pursing is the
implementation of an integrated supply chain infrastructure that will help us achieve
a sustained competitive advantage. Capturing and analyzing asset usage and repair
management history for each customers operational environment is a key strategy
that aligns with our interface with suppliers (internal & external), and ultimately aligns
with our main commitment to improve customer service levels at the bases.
Supply Chain within an MRO environment is unique and sometimes unpredictable.
While scheduled maintenance can be forecasted, we are victims of unscheduled activities.
Combined with excessively long TATs for repairs and higher than average lead times
for parts, it has become necessary to monitor almost every facet of the supply chain.
Managing asset levels has and will always be a main focus of supply chain. I am writing
to you today to ask for your continued support and understanding to minimize deficiencies
that have negatively affected our operational performances. Specifically:
Reporting Team is dealing with complex
new accounting issues in a systematic
manner and getting stronger every day
as new issues are dealt with. We are tacklingother issues, such as reducing the number
of days sales in receivables and are making
good progress.
I am extremely proud of the hard
work and dedication of our Finance Team
worldwide, including Financial Services,
Financial Reporting, Business Information,
Tax and Treasury.
As we move through this challenging
SOX year, we look forward to continued
improvements in controls and improved
efficiency of operations. We will be working
hard in this new fiscal year to develop aculture of control and cost consciousness
as we realize the benefits of the significant
investment made in our SOX compliance
process. At the same time, we must all play
our part and ensure that we review and
abide by our policies and procedure so
that we are all pulling in the same direction.
Lets help build CHC into a World Class
organization!.
While safety must remain foremost in
our minds, we must also focus on cost
structures which will allow us to continue
to grow and to make the necessary
investments in safety.
Through our Sarbanes Oxley (SOX)
compliance project, we are taking acloser look at all systems and processes,
which allows us to improve accuracy
and efficiency. In fact, we are doing for
finance what we have for many years
done for safety creating an open,
transparent system with checks, balances
and redundancies to identify human
errors before they cause problems.
Just as we constantly keep an eye open
for any situation that might compromise
safety, we must keep an eye open any
process that might compromise our cost
structure. Companies that fail to controlcosts in the up cycle are inevitably forced
to cut costs when growth cools down.
I am confident we will manage this
period of extraordinary growth in
a prudent manner, maintaining our focus
on safety and preparing the Company
for continued prosperity.
Supply Chain Focus
Ryan Flanagan
Timely return of unserviceable components removed from aircraft. While the target
is seven days we arestill experiencing some returns as great as two months. With long
lead times from repair vendors, its critical for us to route these components as soon
as possible after removal from an aircraft. In several instances we have had to purchase
additional spares to support excessive in-transit times.
Linked to this is the need to clearly document the reason for removal thereby
providing accurate info to our repair vendors which in some cases can reduce the
total cost of repair.
Timely updating of Movex with actual quantities on hand at your bases will ensure
that we have an accurate count of all corporate assets and assist in our Sox
compliance activities.
Timely updating of Movex with inbound and outbound spares will facilitatevisibility and reduce the expediting of parts that are, or are not, at a base.
Supply Chain has a symbiotic relationship with all divisions in CHC. Its similar to a relay
race where batons are handed off to your fellow colleagues so they can continue with their
portion of the race. In the end we all benefit. In the end we all win.

Heli-One and CHC were front and centre
at the March 1-3 Helicopter Association
International (HAI) Heli-Expo trade show
in Orlando, Florida, joining Eurocopter
and Sikorsky at the shows most significant
events. The exhibition was attended by
thousands and featured more than 500
exhibitors from around the world.
During the exhibition, CHC signed an
agreement to purchase 16 EC225 aircraft
in addition to six EC225s already on order.Sylvain Allard signed the contract, along
with Eurocopter President, Lutz Bertling,
while Heli-One staff looked on. CHC is
scheduled to take delivery of the new
EC225s over a four-year period beginning
in late 2008. The new aircraft will be used
in support of various customers, bothin the North Sea and elsewhere.
As part of the agreement, Heli-One
was issued an exclusive license to repair
and overhaul EC225 components.
Heli-One will fully support the new
EC225s as they join the companys fleet.
Heli-Ones booth was located next to
Sikorsky Aircraft Corporations display
in the main exhibition hall. Traffic at the
Heli-One booth was high, and the booth
meeting rooms were host to a continuous
lineup of meetings. CHC Chairman Mark
Dobbin, along with Sylvain Allard, NeilCalvert and the executive team of Heli-One
joined Heli-Ones key personnel in
representing the company at the show.
On Day 1 of the show, Sikorsky

Heli-One and CHCInk EC 225 Deal
Sixteen CHC EC225 helicopters are expected to be put to work between late 2008 and 2012. CHC plans to put these aircraft into service as part of theCompanys fleet renewal plan, in support of new offshore oil and gas contracts, and potentially as Search and Rescue (SAR) aircraft. CHC is making this
commitment to meet the unprecedented demand from various customers including both the offshore oil and gas industry and government-sponsored SAR.The16 aircraft will supplement six EC225s currently on order. The original six, which are expected to be delivered by December 2008, will supportcontracts with TOTAL E&P UK PLC, TOTAL E&P Norge AS as well as other CHC customers in the North Sea and elsewhere.
The success of our heavy product range has always been closely linked to the success of CHC, said Lutz Bertling, President and CEO of Eurocopter.Based on the companys huge experience with the Super Puma family of helicopters, we are pleased to see the EC225 selected by CHC to serve itsclients including TOTAL E&Ps UK and Norwegian operations in the North Sea.
The EC225 is the latest and most advanced member of Eurocopters family of twin-engine, long-range helicopters. Its mission focus lies on passenger transport in particular offshore and VIP, and its versatility makes it a perfect aircraft for public service missions such as Search and Rescue (SAR). It has a maximumtake-off weight of 11 metric tons and significantly increased performance capabilities such as a new five-bladed main rotor system, a reinforced main rotorgear box, and an integrated display and piloting system.

Painted in the red and white colours
of the United Kingdoms Maritime &
Coastguard Agency (MCA), the S-92 will
be operated by CHC in a 24/7 SAR role
for the MCA (see article p. 4). The aircraft
will be based in Stornoway (UK) and
is one of four that will fulfill a five-year
contract commencing July 1, 2007.
Heli-One will provide maintenance
support services for the S-92 through
the life of the contract.
Heli-Expo attendees had the chance
to tour Heli-Ones S-92; attendees were
permitted to board the aircraft and sit
in the cockpit.
Also at the show, Heli-One signed a
contract with AB Norrlandsflyg to providetwo S-76C++ aircraft, along with full
power by the hour (PBH) maintenance
support. The aircraft will be operated in
a SAR capacity for the Swedish Maritime
Agency. The contract term is for five years,
with a two-year extension option. The
contract represents a great opportunity
to partner with a new external customer,
one that is currently responsible for
all SAR activities in Sweden.
Overall, Heli-Expo 2007 was a
resounding success for Heli-One
and CHC. Heli-One gained significantexposure, both through the Heli-One
booth and through Heli-Ones signing
of the Eurocopter contract and affiliation
with the S-92 on display. In addition
to contract signings, relationships
with customers from around the
world were solidified.

Marketing Analyst, Heli-One
Heli-One was recently awarded contracts
with several different European Air Forces:
the Royal Norwegian Air Force (RNoAF),
the Royal Danish Air Force (RDAF) and
the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF).
These contract wins are exciting for
Heli-One because they reaffirm Heli-Ones
presence in the military market in Europe,
and increase the probability of moremilitary work.
Heli-One will fulfill a contract with
the RNoAF to upgrade 12 Bell 412SP
helicopters. Upgrades will include
installation of missile warning systems,
new sensors and control panels, and chaff
flare alterations. Heli-One was previously
awarded a contract to perform the same
upgrades on a batch of six aircraft, so upon
fulfillment of this contract will have
upgraded 18 aircraft for the RNoAF.
The upgrades are expected to be complete
by the end of 2007, and will be performed
at Heli-Ones facility in Stavanger, Norway.
Also for the RNoAF, Heli-One will fulfill
a contract to assist Bell Helicopter USA
in upgrading six Bell 412SP helicopters to
412HP versions. This will involve replacing
the main transmission, as well as upgrading
drive components and instrumentation.Heli-One will use upgrade kits provided
by Bell Helicopter, with completion
expected in late 2008.
A separate air force contract involves
supporting the RDAFs fleet of S-61A
helicopters. The contract involves repair
and overhaul, along with personnel
support. Heli-One will also perform
C-inspections on four aircraft. The fleet

Through the SOX compliance initiative,CHC is adding structure and clarity to
financial processes. We are implementing
close to 30 new policies in key areas,
making significant improvements to
Delegation of Authority, Authorization
for Expenditure and the Code of Ethics.
Through SOX, we also accelerated the
review and resolution of key business
risks such as: H1 inventory management
(in progress and longer-term in nature);
GSS policies and processes; Global
Operations System (full implementation
by May 2007); Financial Services internalreporting tools, Tax and Treasury processes
and Customs management processes.
The SOX initiatives are really the
foundation we can build on to meet our
strategic goals and growth of the company.
Global Operations SystemOne example of a successful SOX initiative
is the Global Operations System (GOS),
which incorporates a single web-based
technology to replace several outdated
systems, including:
Crew Scheduling System Pilot Training Database Engineering Database Electronic Crew Positioning
Report (eCPR)
The result is a centralized, streamlined
approach to the organizations daily
operational requirements that meetsregulatory requirements and provides
a foundation for a variety of new initiatives
in the coming years. The approach to the
CHC CORPORATE
Crunch Time for SOX
will be supported through Heli-Ones
facility in Stavanger, Norway.
Another European military contract
secured by Heli-One is with the RNLAF.
Heli-One will perform phase inspections
on two AS532U2 Cougar helicopters,with options to complete a further five
inspections on other aircraft. The work
was won through Heli-Ones new Dutch
entity, Heli-One Defence B.V., which was
created to provide support to the Dutch
military. The inspections will be performed
at RNLAF facilities in Woensdrecht,
and make the RNLAF one of Heli-Ones
largest military customers.
Winning contracts with three different
European militaries is extremely positive
for Heli-One. These contracts all involvedifferent services and different aircraft
a great example of the breadth of services
provided and the diversity of aircraft
supported by Heli-One. These contract
wins show that Heli-One is capable of
effectively competing in the European
military market, and are likely precursors
to future military work in Europe. Great
job Heli-One Norway and Netherlands!.
revised claims process is to create a selfexplanatory system that works much like
online banking.
Previously, GO had separate systems
to do the same job which resulted in
duplication of data and extra work for
all involved. With the period of growth
GO has seen in the past several years,
it has proven, difficult to modify these
old systems to address the now-critical
components such as workflow approval,
standard interfaces, or audit trails essential
for meeting regulatory requirements
under Sarbanes Oxley.The first phase of GOS will focus on
the training, scheduling, payroll and claims
payment of all operational personnel and
will be fully implemented by June 2007.
CHC is moving closer to full compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, whichrequires publicly traded companies to report on the company's internal control over financial reporting.Through the SOX compliance initiative, CHC is adding structure and clarity to financial processes.

balance room, plasma spray, cleaning
rooms, including chemical tanks, state of

such as Rock Hard for the Sikorsky S76
Main Gear Box housings. We will be
moving the CT/T 58 engine test cell from
Port Alberni to a new home in Boundary
Bay, just outside the engine shop area.
In the future we will look at movingthe transmission test cell from Richmond,
but for the time being it will stay put.
The stores will have at least 2 vertical
carousals for storage of parts, saving space
and increasing security.
To be environmentally friendly, we will
have electric taps in all washrooms and
employ a closed loop system for the
degreaser, so water usage here will be
virtually nil. The degreaser will have
its own still to keep fluid clean and
evaporation of the expensive material
to a minimum. The hanger paint strip
and wash area, the NDT shop and
the cleaning room will each have an
evaporator to ensure we do not pollutethe water system. The water from these
areas will drain into a tank under ground
and be pumped automatically into the
evaporators, where water will be boiled
off, leaving only solid waste to dispose
of. This is not only be the most
environmentally sound way to deal
with waste, it is the most cost effective.
Waste disposal costs will be a fraction
of what they are today.
The new facility will have a full service
cafeteria, with a good variety of meals
at reasonable prices.And the best part, for those of us
who live in the valley or anywhere south
or west of Richmond, we will save about
25 minutes each way on our drive and have
no tunnel, no bridge on our commute.

Heli-Ones Boundary Bay Maintenance,
Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility site
is a beehive of activity, as the construction
phase is finally in full swing after permitand weather delays. When the site was
prepared for pre-loading two feet of soil
had to be removed to make way for heavy
sand to compact the ground. After
torrential rain, however, the result was a
beautiful lake surrounding the site, which
caused many problems as there was no
where to drain the water. As a result we
ended up pumping water from one area
to another to keep the footing holes water
free. The floor slab and walls will be
supported by these footings.
The pre-loading of the first half ofthe site was finished in early January;
the second half in March. Footings are
complete, conduits for plumbing, electrical,
data etc. have been laid throughout the
area and we hope to have a web cam set
up in the near future so you will be able
to go on line and watch the construction.

In 2006 we celebrated the 50th anniversary
of Helikopter Service AS, now CHC
Helicopters and Heli-One (Norway).
Celebrations took place throughout the
year. Sunday, 3 September, the two
companies invited all employees and
pensioners with families to an Open
House and Family Day at our facilities
in Stavanger.
The event started at noon, with a
number of workshops and a large part
of the main hangar open for tours guided
by our workshop staff. This gave visitors
an excellent opportunity to visualise our
daily workplace tasks. To officially start
the celebrations, CHC Helikopter Service
Managing Director Jakob Bae wished
everyone welcome.
Most of the programme was aimed
at younger visitors, who were given the
opportunity to enter a drawing
competition, with helicopters of course
as the main theme. All contributions weredisplayed on a big board in the hangar
and winners in different age groups were
announced. A helicopter ride in a CHCs
AS332L2 was the prize for the lucky
winners. It was a hugely popular event!
In the cantina, there was live music and
entertainment for the children. Comedian
Ove Rocktroll had the audience in the palm
of his hands for at least an hour and a half,
smashing dishes, playing rock like a troll.
Face painting was another popular activity
that made this part of the day a winner.
Older kids and adults were given anopportunity to test their shooting abilities

UK Interim SAR, Business Unit Leader
The MCA contract is currently held
by BHL who operate the Sikorsky S61N.
Under the new Maritime and Coastguard
Agency (MCA) UK Interim SAR contract,
CHC will re-employ the BHL air and
ground crews under TUPE arrangements,which mean the staff will undergo training
on the new aircraft types before being
re-deployed operationally. But staffing
is tight in the SAR world, and bases would
be seriously understaffed if crews were
sent off to S-92 simulators and on other
training programs for extended periods.
To ensure that SAR cover is maintained
during this training period, a CHC Interim
UK SAR Operational Transition Team
(IOTT) flying two SAR-configured S61N
on lease from BHL, will take over the SAR
duties at each of the bases in turn while
crews are trained on the new aircraft types.
The UK Interim SAR contract is broken
down into two distinctive lines of activity,
transition state and sustained state.
Transition TeamTransition Team will be activated for a
period of 18 months and will be employed
as follows:

Jan-June 2007
Initial training conducted in Norway at
the CHC S61 training facility for S61 flight
simulator and instrument training and
subsequently at Waterford for SAR-role
training and finally in Stornoway for SAR
role consolidation training and area
familiarization.
Waterford SAR Training Facility
CHC Europe will establish an Interim UK
SAR Training Facility at Waterford inIreland to enable the specific S61N SAR
type and role training to be carried out in
a controlled environment. This is essential
in preparing IOTT for its task. The facility
will be based on a modular building system
and will provide a fully equipped classroom,
briefing and domestic facility at Waterford
as well as an operations centre. The ops
centre will manage day-to-day flying
and engineering operations initially at
Waterford but later as a mobile facility that
will be part of the IOTT flight operation
whilst rotating around the UK flight sites.
CHC Ireland Fifth Base
The transition team will effectively function
as a mobile Fifth Base operating under
the CHC Ireland IAA AOC. Operational,
engineering and administrative details
will reflect fully the CHC Ireland primacy
over this activity. The mobile Fifth Base
operations centre will be deployed on
rotation to each of the MCA sites in turn.
It will provide a centre of operational
continuity throughout the transition
period.
Sustained State
The sustained state will be progressively
achieved as each of the UK MCA Bases
undergoes the training on the new aircraft.
The trained crews on the new technology
aircraft comprised mainly of experienced
BHL SAR crews who will transfer to CHC
plus newly recruited SAR experienced
crews who will backfill any shortfall -will form the manpower pool at each of
the UK MCA bases and will deliver the
sustained SAR capability on the new S92
and AW139 aircraft for the duration
of the contract.
Rearcrew specialist training
All CHC UK Interim SAR medical training
will be conducted by the RAF College of
SAR Medicine (CoSARM), an accredited
training facility, at RAF St Mawgan.
The CoSARM courses are tailored to meet
the medical output standard required by
the MCA contract, starting with a basic
two-week residential course at CoSARM
for all CHC UK Interim SAR rearcrew.
The advanced course, designed for the
primary medically trained crewmember,
usually the winchman is an additional three
week module followed by a month of
placements in local hospital Accident and
Emergency Units or an Ambulance Unit.

10 CHC HELICOPTER CORPORATION EMPLOYEE MAGAZINE
By Capt. Mark McDermott
Waterford, Ireland Wednesday January 10
was a particularly foul night on the
southeast coast of Ireland. Just after 6 pm,
the Duty Captain, Peter McKenzie-Brown
was called by Dublin Maritime Rescue
Co-ordination Centre (MRCC) to searchfor a missing fishing vessel. The crew
feared the worst given the gale force winds
and mountainous seas. Contact had been
lost with the Pere Charles, a local boat
from the nearby fishing village of Dunmore
East, which had been fishing off Hook
Head, only 14 km from the SAR Base.
CHCs Search and Rescue (SAR)
Helicopter Base at Waterford Regional
Airport is one of four CHC SAR Bases
in the Republic of Ireland which provide
a 24 hour/365 day service to the Irish
Coastguard flying the venerable S61.Waterfords area of responsibility includes
the southeastern corner of the island where
many seafarers throughout the years have
come to harm. Despite often being
regarded as one of the less busy units,
the justification for positioning a SAR
helicopter there was made abundantly
clear that Wednesday night and during
the savage week that followed.
The aircraft was scrambled and with his
co-pilot SFO Mike Farquhar and crewmen
John Manning and Brody Prideaux, Capt.
McKenzie-Brown was on scene within
18 minutes of the original call. Despite
this swift response there was no sign of
survivors. Only the EPIRB (Emergency
Position Indicating Radio Beacon), a gascylinder and an empty life-ring was found
to give any sign of the 60-ft boat, which
had sunk so rapidly with all five crew
members on board.
The search continued the following
day with the oncoming crew captained
by Mark McDermott tasked to search
the Southeast Coast in the hope of finding
any survivors who may have made it off
the vessel in time and been washed onto
the rugged shoreline. Towards the end
of the search the crew were aware of the
Dublin MRCC trying to gain two-waycommunications with another fishing
vessel, the Honey Dew II, a 72-ft fishing
vessel with a crew of four, which had been
involved in the search for the crew of the
Pere Charlesthe night before. However
with fuel running low and darkness
falling, the aircraft returned to base. They
had no sooner landed however, than the
MRCC was again on the scramble phone.
The Honey Dew IIwas overdue and
no contact could be made either by radio
or mobile phone. The crew were tasked
to try and locate the missing vessel, but
the last known contact had been at 1 am
that morning, 17 hours previous, when the
vessels skipper had reported that he was
sheltering from the high seas. It was
believed that he would be making his wayback to his home port of Kinsale 108 km
to the southwest. Therefore, the aircraft was
quickly turned round by the two duty
engineers, and the crew re-launched.
Given the vagueness of the area to be
searched, the decision had been made
by the crew to search a box 16 km wide
from the last known position, to along
the expected track to Kinsale. Shortly after
launch and with the co-pilot Captain Mike
Hennelly at the controls, Capt. McDermott
directed him to turn 30 degrees to port
to achieve a safe heading for the over-sealetdown and to close the first radar contact
within the search area, which he had just
identified and was still some 27 km distant.
This proved to be an extremely fortuitous
decision.
As the aircraft rolled to port, Winch
Operator Neville Murphy saw what looked
like a flare, below and to the left of the
aircraft. The aircraft continued its turn
as Winchman Paul Truss sat at the FLIR
operators console, swung the camera
around to find the target. The aircraft hadno sooner completed its turn towards the
flare when it extinguished, but Paul Truss
had found the target and he homed the
aircraft to the overhead, where a life raft
with two occupants could be seen.
After the initial excitement of finding
the target, the safe recovery of the two
survivors felt in many ways routine.
This was in no small measure due to
the collective experience and continual
training of the crew, however it was still
a challenging exercise given the extremely
rough sea state and Atlantic swell. Withthe aircraft in position, Neville Murphy
lowered Paul Truss into the life raft where
he found the two survivors in relatively
good shape. This despite the fact that they
had been in the life raft for almost 17
hours, as the Honey Dew IIhad sunk
shortly after its last communication. Paul
placed both casualties into the rescue
strops and, with a selflessness typical of

The aircraft returned to base to a
veritable circus of TV cameras and Press.
To say that the events of the previous
six days had been unprecedented would
not be an exaggeration. The loss of three
vessels and seven fishermen in such a short
period of time, within such a confined
area, was a huge blow to the local
communities of which the CHC crews
are an integral part. However, some solace
could be taken from the safe recoveryof four survivors and the dedicated and
professional service, which the CHC
Ireland crews continue to provide.

rescue crewmen, waited in the life raft
until the casualties were recovered into
the aircraft. Within about five minutes
of establishing the hover over the life raft,
both the survivors and winchman were
safely onboard the helicopter.
The next decision was whether to
continue the search or expedite the transfer
of the two survivors to hospital. Despitethe language barriers present (both
crewmen were Lithuanian and spoke
very little English) it was soon established
that the survivors were adamant that the
search be continued for their two missing
comrades. The decision was made to
continue the search whilst monitoring
the condition of the two survivors. MRCC
were asked to scramble the Dublin-based
S61 to take over the search and release
the Waterford-based aircraft as soon as
possible. Despite an extensive search by
both aircraft, no further sign was found ofthe Honey Dew IIor its missing crewmen.
In the following days an intensive search
for the missing crewmen from both vessels
continued all along the Southeast Coast
with an average of five hours being flown
each day.
Then on the evening of the 16 January,
only six days after the first vessel had
foundered, and whilst the whole country
was still trying to come to terms with the
loss of life and the fact that two seaworthy
vessels had gone down within a few hoursand a few miles of each other, MRCC
called with another call-out. The fishing
vessel Renegade, which had itself been
involved in the extensive search operations,
was sinking of the Southeast Coast and
the crew were taking to the life raft. It is
hard to describe the thoughts of the duty
crew on hearing this news, but as they ran
to the aircraft the words unbelievable!
and whats going on? were clearly heard.
This time the Duty Captain was Dara
Fitzpatrick with Capt. Mark McDermott
flying as co-pilot. The vessels last knownposition was just off Tuskar Rock, a
treacherous area on the most southeasterly
point of Ireland. Thankfully, the weather
was relatively benign with a moderate swell.
The life raft and sinking vessel were spotted
by Winchman Keith Devaney on the FLIR
camera from five miles away and the
aircraft was quickly positioned to
commence the rescue, arriving only 30
minutes after the initial Mayday call had
been made.
Both crewmembers had taken the very
wise decision to evacuate their boat assoon as they realised they were taking on
more water than their pumps could cope
with. This was proven to be a prudent
move when, within minutes of the aircraft
arriving on scene the Renegade went from
being apparently stable with a slight list
to port, to being completely submerged
within a matter of seconds.
The winching operation again went
very smoothly with Keith being lowered
into the life raft by Winch Operator Neill
McAdam. As Paul had done on theprevious rescue, Keith elected to remain
in the life raft as the first survivor was
winched onboard, then came up to the

On a blustery winter day recently,
almost all of the staff and pupils of theOranjemund Pre-Primary School (OPPS)
descended on the CHC operation as part
of an enrichment outing for the children.
Arranged through the invitation of
the CHC Base Manager, Captain Charles
Burger, the children were welcomed to
the CHC facility by First Officer Joshua
Williams who played the role of host to
this collection of three, four and five-year
old children and seven of their teachers.
Despite having to fend off obscure and
strange questions from 104 children,
Joshua managed to maintain a semblance
of composure and parried everything
thrown at him.
The children were rewarded by seeing
an S76A++ crew change flight out to one
of the De Beers Marine diamond mining
vessels. The two hour visit flew by in a
wink and the visit even made it into the
local newspaper.
On another occasion, a 30 minute
flight in a S76A++ was raffled off, adding
$10,000 to the Oranjemund Childrens
Fund. The flight was an astounding socialschool event and success. Captain Jeff
Gibson and Captain Johan Joubert flew
ZS-RKO, callsign Marine One into the
Oranjemund Primary School (OPS)
playing fields where CHC Operations
Controller Mark Bowyer had already
prepared 12 lucky schoolchildren for
their flight of a lifetime. The activities
also made it into the local newspaper,
the Sperrgebiet Gazette and prompted
this letter from Mr. Dieter Meyer, the
Principal of the Oranjemund PrimarySchool:
Friday morning, turned out to be a very
special day for twelve children who attend
the OPPS and OPS. It seemed as if
every child was going to get a chance to fly
with CHC that morning, so great was their
excitement. It didnt take long for the
chopper to land on the cricket field and
the twelve most fortunate raffle-winners
were strapped into their seats. After flying
over Oranjemund for about thirty minutes,
the magic ride had to come to an end.
The result? Twelve happy children who
experienced one of their most exciting days
at school ever. and the rest of the school?
Well, the children continued to live
helicopters for the rest of the day. Every
drawing made that day, every sentence
written, featured a red, blue and white
helicopter in some way.
The Oranjemund Childrens Fund
committee would like to use this opportunity
to thank CHC Helicopters and its staff for
this wonderful gift they have given to the
children of Oranjemund. Every cent madefrom the raffle sale that day has been paid
into the Funds account and will be used
to support needy children!
It is indeed wonderful to know that
a company such as CHC has gone into
all this trouble to make this most positive
form of investment in the life of the
Oranjemund community and its young
ones with particular needs! Hip-hip hurrah
to CHC Helicopters.
I think that the last paragraph of
the letter says it all. It all goes to show
that CHC truly does have a warm heart,and one that beats strongly when dealing
with all the deserving charities and
the magnificent communities that they
are located in, both in Africa, and in
the global village that CHC inhabits.
CHC GLOBAL
CHC DISPLAYS HER WARM HEARTto the Communities of Africa
Jay Gates
One of the defining aspects of what makes
a good company great, is how she is held
within her local community. What sets
CHC apart from the others is that on
a global basis, the company cares deeply
for the less fortunate in their midst.
The CHC base in Cape Town was
fortunate to have a small helicopter in
its fleet ideal for donating flights as a prize
in a charitable raffle, or in a fund raisingauction. The excitement that is generated
when a charity is offering 6 people the
chance of a 20 minute flight in a CHC
Longranger, around one of the worlds
most scenic peninsulas is palpable. Prime
examples from amongst the many local
charities that have benefited from this
generous example of corporate largesse
are the St. Lukes Hospice, which cares
for the terminally ill, the Woodside Trust,
which cares for Downs Syndrome
sufferers, Reach for a Dream which gives
deserving children, many with lifethreatening illnesses, the opportunity to
fly, and the St. James Church in Kenilworth
which raises money for community
outreach programmes.
In Namibia, the CHC operation in
Oranjemund has always been at the
forefront of providing an educational
service to its unique community
of children.

The S-92 Ferry Crew
CHC Australia was recently given a major
challenge: register a new aircraft type
within Australia, train sufficient crews
(maintenance and aircrew) accordingly
and have it completed within six months.
This took a lot of organisation with
engineers and aircrew having to travel
to Florida for simulator and maintenance
training. On 10 November 2006, the
brand new S92 arrived in Adelaide from
Philadelphia. The arrival was much
anticipated and heralded a new startfor CHC Australia: this was the first of
its type in the country.
Early on Friday 2 February 2007,
nearly eight weeks after its arrival and
a lot of hard work, with her name proudly
on display, Alice (yes, named after a
version of Smokies song, and Alice
Springs, located in the centre of Australia),
finally made her maiden voyage from
Adelaide, South Australia to Broome,
Western Australia, (2481km northwest
of Adelaide). She is required there for
a short term contract which was awardedto CHC Australia for offshore oil and gas
exploration with INPEX Browse Basin.
First stop was a quick refuel at Coober
Pedy - The Opal Capital of the World,
(748km northwest of Adelaide). With
a population of only 3,500 people, Alice
managed to attract attention from the
locals who came to see her close up and
ask a few questions. Once the formalities
17CHC HELICOPTER CORPORATION EMPLOYEE MAGAZINE
CHC GLOBAL
were out of the way it was on to the
next stop.
Our overnight stop was Ayers Rock,
(1315 km northwest of Adelaide). Alice
attracted more attention at the airport
with even the local police paddy wagon
coming to see her depart in the morning.
With the heat on the tarmac rising, we
departed early for Halls Creek (2145 km
west of Adelaide). The scenery was
magnificent, and we witnessed the
landscape change from barren red dirt
at Coober Pedy to the greener grassesof Broome.
We landed in Broome late afternoon
on Saturday 3 February, and the Broome-
based CHC employees and their families
were there to greet Alice. A celebration
was in hand, and (just) enough champagne
was spared to christen Alice. Not
surprisingly, the crew enjoyed, at the end
of their shift, a Crownie or two (the best
beer found in Oz) to celebrate the arrival.
The journey was enjoyed by all
on-board, particularly because we were
able to stretch our legs (standing roomonly), and the air-conditioning was very
welcome.
It is really a credit to all CHCs staff
Australia and Global - who managed
to pull this contract together, facing and
overcoming many challenges along the
way. And, of course due to this, Alice is
finally where she needs to be, in Broome,
impressing everyone who lays eyes on her.

to North Denes, Rudy used his good and
long-lasting relationship with the Dutch
authorities to register the aircraft with the
initials of his two children: Immie Eveline
and Thomas Rudolf. It is an honour to
have Rudy on the Safety & Quality team,
and we are fortunate to have someone of
his caliber in the group for 40 years!
Thank you Rudy for your dedication
and hard work, but especially your
friendship and comradery! We look
forward to working with you and enjoying
your company for many more years to
come...as we watch IEH and TRH flying
by of course.

35 Years Service
Captain Eby Klix
20 CHC HELICOPTER CORPORATION EMPLOYEE MAGAZINE
Bob Evans
Training Captain, Nigeria
Ebys love of aviation was inherited from
his father who in pre-war Germany was
an aircraft builder, designer and inventor.
After the war, the family emigrated to theUSA, where Ebys father switched from
commercial pilot at Lufthansa to builder
of aircraft at home, assisted by the young
Eby. Eby obtained his fixed wing PPL on
a Piper Colt in 1963. When he entered the
US Army, he became an aviation mechanic,
working his way up to a Chief Inspector
within three years, working on Mohawk
aircraft. He was finally sent to flight school
and carried out his helicopter training on
Hughes 269, Bell 47, 204 and 205 aircraft.
Because of his previous engineeringexperience he was posted to Vietnam as
the maintenance Officer on a maintenance
unit supporting 180 aircraft. When
helicopters went down, Eby was the one
who went out to the location, made an
assessment as to whether it needed to
be underslung back to base or could be
flown out, and if the latter, hed usually
fly it himself.
When he left the army, flying jobs and
good feelings about Viet Nam were hard
to come by in America so he made his way
to Europe and was taken on by Schreiner(now part of CHC) with just 1,000 hours
experience, on 1 August 1971. He was
given an Alouette 3 conversion and went
to Iran flying on seismic and gas pipeline
survey operations. He was there with
his family at a time when a normal
accompanied roster was 365 days on,
6 weeks off! In 1975 he was given a Puma
conversion on to the old SA330G and
was working on a contract for the Iranian
National Gas Company moving staff
between mountain-top microwave sites,
pipeline survey of the 1,600 mile pipeline
and doing occasional sling jobs of pipeline
sections when repairs were needed.
In 1979 after the Iranian revolution Ebywas sent out to Brunei where Schreiner
were flying a Puma for offshore operations
from Anduki. This was actually a fly-off
competition between the S61 (operated
by Bristow) and the Puma, but despite
the Puma flying for 365 days without even
a day of downtime (they had great spares
back-up!!), Bristow somehow won the
contract. Then Eby was sent to Singapore
to do some training, then ferried a Puma
via Bali, to Broome, Australia for a 6 month
contract for BP. From there he went andflew a Puma 330J in Austria building ski
lifts where the engineer was Peter Weisz,
now Technical manager for Aero in Lagos.
By this time Schreiner had managed to get
some of their Pumas in Iran released,
so Eby picked up one in Doha and ferried
it to Holland, then later ferried one to
Nigeria for the new Aero Contractors
contract for Agip. When flying the Puma
in Nigeria, one of his copilots was Patrick
Agbonlahor, now Chief Pilot for Aero.
However, at the end of 1981 the Nigerian
government cut back the number of
expatriate quotas and Eby was posted
to Indonesia where, for the next 12 years
he flew Pumas and Super Pumas on
CHC EUROPE
Captain Eby Klix
offshore, heli-rig and seismic contracts
mostly in Sumatra and Irian Jaya, but
he operated all over Indonesia and wasChief Pilot for a year.
In 1992 he did his Dauphin conversion
in Balikpapan on a 365C2 with Stan Gray
(then with IAT, now a CHC TRE in
Cameroun). From there he moved out
to Nigeria where he has remained for the
last 14 years and has at various times been
Base manager in Warri and at the Agip
Base Port Harcourt. He was originally flying
365C2 and N, then Twin Squirrels and
later converted to the S76A+ when Aero
brought their first one to Nigeria. In his
time, Eby has accumulated over 15,500hours on helicopters, which in the unlikely
event of his having flown continuously
in a 130 knot cruise, would mean hes
flown a helicopter the equivalent of 92
times around the world!.
On 1 August Captain Eby Klix will celebrate 36 years with the company. Eby is presently flying asa Line Training Captain on the S76 and Dauphin. He is a total aviation enthusiast and at 64, still goingstrong literally, as hes to be seen out running around Areta Estate after work most evenings.

CHC EUROPE
On Wednesday December 27, 2006,
seven men lost their lives in a tragic
helicopter accident in Morecambe Bay
off the Northwest coast of England.
All of us at CHC are deeply saddened
and shocked by this accident. The crew
of the aircraft were Captain Steve Potton
and the Co-pilot was Simon Foddering,
both of CHC Scotia. The five passengers
were offshore employees Les Ahmed,
Alf Neasham, Jackie Shaw, Bob Warburtonand Keith Smith. All these men were
going about their normal business when
this tragedy occurred and are all heroes
in our eyes; they will be deeply missed.
Captain Steve Potton, 51, was respected
at CHC as a true gentleman and always
had a smile on his face even at six in
the morning said a colleague who
worked with him. Steve was affectionately
known as Spotton and would always
go out of his way to help others. It was
a pleasure to know him, a tragedy to losehim, another colleague said.
Steve had been with the company for
more than 20 years and was Chief Pilot
at Blackpool, England. Another co-worker
summed up what everybody who ever
met Steve felt; He was the nicest guy you
could ever meet - everyone is devastated.
CHC CREWMEN
Remembered and Loved
A statement from Steves family said:
Steve Potton was a fantastic husband,
father, son and friend. His tragic death has
shaken his family, friends and colleagues
who have responded with care, love and
support for his beloved wife and children.
During life, Steve Potton was a man who
gave everything freely and without
question. He was at ease in any situationand the many who met him immediately
liked and loved him for who he was:
the life and soul. We have been inundated
with condolences from throughout
England and even further afield. Steve
Potton will always be remembered in
the hearts of many especially his wife
and children.
Senior First Officer Simon Foddering,
33, joined CHC about a year ago from
the North West Air Ambulance service
and was a very experienced pilot who
started his aviation career in the army.
He had two young children and was again
and again described as a fantastic guy.
In a statement, his family said: "Simon
was a sincere, courageous and professionalindividual who had a charisma that meant
if he led you followed. He achieved many
things in his short life, namely serving
his country in the Prince of Wales
Regiment before completing his training
and becoming one of the youngest pilots
in the army air fleet and serving time in
Ireland and overseas. Simon was a devoted
and caring father and a loving boyfriend
who moved to Preston to be closer to his
son and daughter. He will be sorely missed
by family and friends.
Our hearts go out to the families ofthe other men involved in the incident
and we hope that in time they too find
peace as we hope to find.
Capt. Simon Foddering
was an experienced
pilot, father of two,
and fantastic guy.
Capt. Steve Potton,
respected as a truegentleman, would
always go out of his
way to help others.
