Firefighting operations day and night.

MEGAVIATION FZC takes active part in the aerial firefighting operations using Mi-8MTV-1 helicopters, with some of them fully equipped and certified to conduct nighttime operations, which enables our team to conduct round-the-clock water dropping.

The nighttime aerial firefighting has certain advantages over the daytime operations, namely:

1. Reconnaissance and detection of potential fires and hot spots is much more effective with NVG.
2. Dropping water precisely in the heart of the fire with superior accuracy, not in the smoke zone as during the daytime operations.
3. Mainly calm weather and no strong winds.
4. Lower outside temperatures help to improve the helicopter’s lifting capacity.
5. There are fewer helicopters in the fire zone making it safer for operations.
6. In case of rapid spread of fire, it is possible to spot the fire’s movement to contain and suppress it round the clock.

Helicopters maintenance.

MEGAVIATION FZC at own expense performs helicopters maintenance and provides all necessary technical equipment, spare parts, and materials, including lubricants, oils, special liquids, etc., for the entire period of the contract. MEGAVIATION FZC is also responsible for the flight operation of the helicopters and flight safety in the country where the aviation services are provided.

Crew training.

The flight crews and technicians have appropriate training and poses all necessary relevant permissions and certification to do their job and have adequate medical insurance policies. At least one pilot in each flight crew has ICAO Level 4 proficiency in the English language.
