Billings Flying Service specializes in Part 133 External Load Operations. Our fleet of aircraft are each well-suited for loads ranging from extremely light to extremely heavy, up to 11,000 pounds.
Aerial Construction & Equipment Transport
Helicopters are generally a much faster and more cost effective option than construction cranes, especially in urban environments. A helicopter is most definitely the most versatile means for construction lifting when it comes to remote locations and difficult terrain. Our aircraft and pilots are capable of the transport and precise placement of a wide array of cargo, including but not limited to:
- rooftop air conditioning units
- radio transmission towers and antennas
- telephone and power transmission lines, poles and towers
- power generating wind turbines
- alpine resort ski lifts
- equipment and vehicles
- decorative statues
- water tanks
- replenishment supplies for remote locations
- general construction materials
Powerline Construction
We are FAA-approved for operations involving placement of transmission lines and power poles from an externally-slung long line via helicopter.
