REQUESOFOR CITY COUNCOSAcTION December 4, 1986 Date Submitted to, HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCI L Submitted by: CHARLES W. THOMPSON, CITY ADMINISTRA� '0 Prepared by: EARLE W. ROBITAILLE, CHIEF OF POLICE Subject: POLICE PILOT HELICOPTER TRAINING Ginsistent with Cmincil Policy? IN4 Yes New Policy or Exception - Statement ol, Issue, Recommendation, Analysis, Func" .4 _,ource, Alternative Actions, Attachments: Mriv STATEMENT OF ISSUE The Police Department Aero Unit's tnble of organization calls for 6 line pilots and a pilot supervisor. The Aero Unit is currently operating with only 5 line pilots and a non -pilot supervisor. In order to bring the Aero Unit to full pilot strength, the Aero Unit supervisor and the no-n-pilot observer need to receive pilot training. The Aero Unit has traditionally crained its own personnel over the years but insura-ice restrictions and risk to our trore costly equip.�,ent makes outside training by professional flight instructors less expensive and more practical. RECOMMENDATIONS The Aero Unit has received bids from the only "Iwo rvailable training facilities in the area, HISER AVIATION, located at the Corona Airport, was the lowest of the two bids by $3,000-00. We are satisfied with the qua,lifi- cations of �he instructors at HISER AVIATION as they are all certified by t'.ie 7ederal Aviation Administration. H1SER AVIATION has trained pilice helicopcer pilocs from other lonal jurisdictions wich excellent results. i recommend that HISER AVIAT ' 7 ' ON be awarded the contract to train our pilots in accordance with Section 3.06.069 (c) H-B.,M.C. ANALYSIS Outside tiaining of our pilots under current insurance restrictions the best practical method of accomplishing chis necessary task. This met-od will also prove to be less disrupcive to our normal patrol and support func,'Aon as an Aero Unit and allow for quicker training, Outside training also protects our aircr8ft from normal damages and stres-s caused by pilot training. FUNDING SOURCE This training Is a budgeted and approved item under At;courlt #327540� 'kEQUEST FOR CITY COADL ACTION PAGE 2 ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS The training of new pilots is a normal process of personnel turnover and essenti,�,l at this time to maintain the high level of valuable service Chat the Aero Unit provides to the citizens of Huntington h2ach. Alternative action would be to train our own pilots with Our Own aircraft despite insurance restrictions. ATTACHMENTS Copies of bids received from HISER AVIATION and. HELISTREAM INC.

Typically, our st,.,dents are trained in off -airport and mountain flying techniques as well as how to operate in the ATC (Air Traffic Control) environment of the Los Anqeles basin. Our courses are very strictured and controlled. Training is conducted one on one and is direQted by a complete syllah)us of Lb.ily Ie6son plans. Each course is divided into stages and each stage is carplete upon evaluation by our Chief Flight instructor or his assistant. Within the 150 hour Canrwrcial Pilot Course, it is possible to tailor a course for your officers to meet the specific denwids plac-d upon them as polit-c pilots. Areas such as urban area flying and night flying can Ix - highlighted and perfected while working to%4ards the Camx�rcial Pilot's License. HeliStream, as a flight school has becare very involved with the Robinson R-22 because of its outstanding capabilities as a flight trainer, out performing every aircraft in it's class while reducing op,.atir�,3 and maintenance costs.
