aircraft. Each helicopter is equipped with the latest navigational and radio equip- ment that includes the Garmin 430, 696, and 500H GPS. Additionally, all of their pilots are re-
quired to take annual training. To help fa- cilitate this, the company has a check airman on staff and performs all of their Airbus Helicopter training in-house; while the S-76 pilots go to CAE for training. Each pilot also completes dunker training, which further increases the safety levels
of pilots and crew operating in the gulf. To date, All American Aviation has a
perfect safety record that can be directly attributed to fleet standardization and not cutting corners when it comes to investing in equipment and training. A good exam- ple of this is that they were the first to op- erate the Airbus Helicopter AS350B3 in the gulf. Also, pilots are dedicated to a par- ticular base that they fly from, although they may occasionally fill in for another pilot at another base.
Due to ever-changing weather patterns
in the gulf, having real-time updates is im- portant. XM Satellite information is trans- mitted to crews so they can see and avoid weather systems moving through the area. All American Aviation is currently the
only company operating in the Gulf of Mexico to have air-conditioned aircraft as a standard feature. Having air condition- ing ensures comfort and safety of the crew and passengers. Gulf flying can involve long hours in hot and humid conditions,
