AGRICULTURAL FLIGHTS


The helicopter, due to its suitability, the possibility of low and slow flight, and the ability to land in almost any place outside the airport, has proven to be an effective means of applying various types of fertilizers and sprays against pests of crops worldwide. The advantage over agricultural flight by conventional aircrafts is mainly the possibility of take-offs and landings for refueling of petrol and sprayed substances practically near the treated area, and thus increasing the economic efficiency of such operations when the overflight times from the take-off and landing point to the target area are reduced to a minimum. HELITOM s.r.o. has experienced pilots and aviation technology ideal for this type of activity.
