showing how you support them, you may be able to promote World Helicopter Day even if you’re flying missions across the globe, as the press release templates can be used in any community.
During the monthlong celebration, VAI also recommends promoting safety in all
your messaging. This could include dis- cussing the need to check the weather, conducting preflight and post-flight inspec- tions, explaining how autorotations work and why they’re necessary, and explaining the difference between a precautionary landing and an emergency landing. Finally, VAI recommends using Aug. 18
as a chance to expand public awareness of the significant need for pilots and main- tenance personnel in the vertical flight industry. “This is a perfect workforce development opportunity, particularly if you’re working on a mission nearby,” adds Viola. “Let tomorrow’s pilots and mainte- nance people see the operations up close today. Show them how cool it can be to pick their own mission to fly.”
