玩运彩即时比分 helicopter donations
In early 2018, the 玩运彩即时比分 donated 10 helicopters to Transport Canada-approved training institutes offering aircraft maintenance engineer programs across Canada. These Messerschmitt-B枚lkow-Blohm BO105 helicopters were in service in the 玩运彩即时比分 for more than 30 years. As part of the Coast Guard鈥檚 Fleet Renewal Plan, the Government of Canada purchased and deployed 22 new helicopters:
- 15 light-lift helicopters (Bell 429)
- 7 medium-lift helicopters (Bell 412 EPI)
All 22 new helicopters have been deployed to Coast Guard bases across the country.

Use in training
We鈥檙e committed to supporting the development of well-trained, skilled personnel to serve the aerospace industry of the future. This support is crucial to the overall success and well-being of the Coast Guard, its employees and its partners.
These donations will give students the opportunities and tools they need to develop their skills with practical, hands-on experience. The helicopters are used during the students鈥� practical phase of training, mirroring the real-life tasks they鈥檒l perform upon graduation. This helps to prepare them for exciting new careers in aircraft maintenance.

Nathan Charby: My name is Nathan Charby, I applied to this program because I really like doing mechanics of any sorts. I worked in an auto shop for a bit then I got older and started specializing my skills in the trades and I just realized I want my job to have a lot more meaning and weight, so I came to the aviation. I did a lot of looking around for colleges and stuff and this one piqued my interest, specifically with this helicopter here because it鈥檚 in such good condition and it鈥檚 one of the most advanced we have.
So with this two year program we learned about anything from propellers, to the fuel systems, to how a turbine engine works.
Serge C么t茅: So how鈥檚 the inspection coming along?
Nathan Charby: Good.
Serge C么t茅: Very appreciative of the 玩运彩即时比分 for giving us this helicopter because that was instrumental for us to run the program.
Nathan Charby: If my school didn鈥檛 have a helicopter it would make it harder for me to get in the trade, so it鈥檚 a really good thing to put on a resume that I have experience with the BO105.

My name is Louis Guimont, I鈥檓 a teacher here at the 脡cole nationale d鈥檃茅rotechnique.
I used to be a pilot. I flew for a long time up in James Bay and other places. I鈥檝e been with the school for 25 years. We celebrated that 2 days ago as a matter of fact and I was a coordinator here for a few years.
The 脡cole nationale d鈥檃茅rotechnique is the only school in Quebec where we teach the technicians how to work on aircrafts. It鈥檚 the largest in North America.
We have 36 aircraft that we work on and 10 of those are helicopters, and with this new helicopter that we鈥檙e getting from the Coast Guard, it鈥檚 really exciting for our students and teachers.
The helicopter itself was the thing we were missing here. The helicopter is really interesting because it鈥檚 a twin engine helicopter and because the main rotor head is a new technology.
We have 3 main rotor heads that we鈥檝e been talking about for the last 10 years, but there was one missing, and this is the one. It鈥檚 got a rigid rotor and the BO-105鈥檚 got that main rotor head.
As far as the equipment is concerned, we鈥檙e talking about the pop-out floats, the wire cutter kit, we didn鈥檛 have that here, so that was the technology that was missing for our classes.
We would like to thank the Coast Guard for everything they did for us, it was fantastic! Thanks again, it was really nice.
