What are some helicopter flying jobs?

Entry-level helicopter pilot jobs include working as a flight instructor, taking photo flights and crop spraying, with more advanced helicopter pilot positions more common in the resource sector. Resource sector jobs include scouting and exploration missions for oil and gas companies or transporting workers and cargo to remote camps.

Other common helicopter pilot positions in the resource sector include providing heavy lift support for industry activities such as logging or aerial construction. Pilots can also work alongside firefighters to combat wildfires in remote locations, either by transporting men and supplies or by providing air-based hose support. Helicopter pilots are also frequently employed by government agencies for goods transportation and land surveying purposes.
