Introducing the first Vertiport Safety Training (VST) Course - Online

Course Overview:

The Vertiport Safety Training course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of safety procedures and protocols for the operation of vertiports, specifically focusing on the vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aircraft (UA). This course is based on the International Standard ISO 5015-2:2022:2022 Unmanned aircraft systems — Part 2: Operation of vertiports for vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aircraft (UA), which serves as a guide for operating vertiports.

Participants will learn about key safety considerations, emergency procedures, and best practices to ensure the safe and efficient operation of VTOL UAs in vertiports.

  • NEW - Helicopter Landing Officer (HLO) Training Course

    *NOW ONLINE*

    The Flight Safety Group is conscious of the fact that both time and cost are of great importance to the Oil and Gas companies and have therefore designed our OPITO equivalent courses to be both cost and time effective, without forfeiting any of the requirements which ensure the crew members get the maximum benefit from the training.

    In addition, to facilitate the offshore training even further, the Flight Safety Group has now converted all applicable offshore training courses to the online platform.

    This online HLO accereditation fulfills the OPITO requirement but is applicable for current offshore personnel who hold or have held an HLO Certificate. In other words, personnel who currently fulfill the requirements for the practical OPITO experience requirements.

    Personnel who lack the experience or require additional or refresher practical training will be required to complete a separate module - the "HLO Practical Module".
