Some of our team joined Dave Connor in mastering inclement weather avoidance yesterday and spent the afternoon connecting like minded people and inspiring the next generation of aviation talent while atop the O2 Dome.... A big thank you and well done to Charlie Woodward and Rachel Brookes for making the journey, representing the company and still managing to get back in time for duties today!

Over the weekend our team completed a full scale maritime exercise and the deployment of our aerial dispersant spray assets alongside our partner, West Atlantic UK Ltd. The exercise involved installation and operation of an Oil Dispersant Spray Kit installed into a Boeing 737 which then conducted routine training spray operations using water to simulate dispersant application, along with our B200 King Air providing spotter operations. The goals of the exercise were to: - Rehearse the installation of the kit along with the recurrent and new training of installation engineers: increasing resilience and optimising operational delivery - Revalidate line pilot training: this is crucial to ensure safe and effective operations when carrying out Aerial Dispersant Application. - Carry out routine Spray System Operator (SSO) training: as part of the flight crew it is essential our SSOs have experience in operating the kit in the aircraft. A key component of the operation involved the simultaneous deployment of our spotter aircraft which conducted the spray missions alongside the Boeing 737, focusing on communication and coordination and ensuring a safe and effective overall operation. This comprehensive training forms part of our robust training programme which ensures all members of the team, whether operational, administrative or technical maintain the high levels of competence required to carry out their duties. Exercises like this are crucial to ensure we are prepared and in a state of operational readiness for a live callout should it ever be required by our customer the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. #aviation #maritime #oilspillresponse #aerospace

Last weekend our aerial surveillance aircraft was deployed for a long-range SAR tasking to provide top-cover for an Irish Coast Guard SAR helicopter, operated by CHC Ireland. This type of mission is only possible with fast and effective liaison between multiple organisations. This included HM Coastguard's own UK Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre, the Irish Coast Guard's Maritime Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Dublin, and MRSC in Valentia that assumed overall co-ordination, using in this instance the Waterford based Irish Coast Guard Helicopter R117, and NATS. Our East Midlands Airport-based service is operational 24/7. We are on standby to support our national and regional partners in the search and rescue community when needed.

It’s always an honour and privilege for our team to be involved in supporting life saving operations such as this. Dedicated teams working together with passion and care. #sar #sarcooperation #coastguard #teamwork

RVL's Jackie Welburn and Kevin R. have successfully completed their Aviation Action Run the Runways challenge during the month of May. The challenge involved running the length of 31 runways, one for each day of the month, and between them they covered over 160 miles. Jackie said ‘I really enjoyed the challenge and getting outside daily for exercise. Over half of my runs were buggy adventure runs which benefited both me and my son greatly.’ Kevin added that ‘the challenge was great for my mental health and I improved my weekly parkrun time!’ Run the Runways raises money for Aviation Action, who are developing an app to provide mental health wellbeing and support to people in the aviation industry.
