These new technologies will help copter pilots and passengers remain safe and in constant communication with land and other air personnel as they work throughout the day and night. As NHV assists with everything from offshore hoisting and deck landings to medical transport, Blue Sky Network’s D1000A with ACH1000 provides global satellite tracking while enabling two-way voice and text messaging for pilots aboard the aircraft. The convenience of the ACH1000 allows the pilot or co-pilot to take calls directly through the headset and make calls with the ease of speed dial. Designed for fixed installation or complete portability, the D1000A device tracks NHV’s helicopter flight paths in near real-time using the Iridium Satellite Network and a built-in GPS sensor. It’s also equipped with a ‘Quick Position’ mayday alert button that allows pilots to notify ground personnel instantly if an emergency arises during the flight. Working throughout Belgium and surrounding countries, NHV also uses Blue Sky Network’s unique SkyRouter to ensure its helicopters are always on the grid. The SkyRouter web portal provides near real time location reporting for online monitoring of assets anywhere on Earth. Managers are able to easily monitor and communicate with pilots from their desks or anywhere with Internet access.
